DL Holdings (HKG:1709) said its subsidiary will start offering virtual asset dealing services after completing system connection and testing with a platform licensed by the Hong Kong securities regulator, which is expected in February, according to a Jan. 9 Hong Kong bourse filing.

Shares of the company were up nearly 4% in late morning trade.

The move comes after the "uplift" of DL Securities' Type 1 regulated activity license took effect on Dec. 30, 2025, the filing said.
