Last June, CoinDesk reported that Justin Sun predicted HTX (then Huobi) could receive a Hong Kong crypto trading license in 6 to 12 months.
A spokesperson for HTX did not immediately return a request for comment.
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post first reported the exchange had withdrawn its application.
