• The fund says it is “structured under Hong Kong regulations”.
• The SFC (Hong Kong’s markets regulator) keeps lists of suspicious token products 1; SkyLink/SKY sits on its suspicious investment list 2.
• Hong Kong requires most investment products to be SFC-authorized before public offer unless sold only to professional investors (institutional or high‑net‑worth clients meeting statutory thresholds) 1.

• The SFC’s November 2023 guidance limits secondary trading of tokenized SFC-authorized products until concerns like trading infrastructure readiness get fixed 4. Without clear venues or an offering memorandum, investors cannot judge liquidity despite tokenization claims 3. An offering memorandum is the document that sets terms, risks, and investor rights.
