During the period of compliance pains, Futu chooses to endure rather than retreat.

Futu Holdings founder Li Hua stated at the Q1 2026 earnings conference that on May 22, regulatory authorities issued unified rules for cross-border securities, futures, and fund businesses targeting mainland investors, establishing a two-year rectification period, restricting inbound deposits and purchases within the mainland, but not closing accounts. The company will embrace regulation and steadily promote compliance, expecting no impact on the annual goal of acquiring 800k customers. Previously, the company had ceased opening accounts for mainland residents and strengthened review processes, rejecting tens of thousands of non-compliant applications over the past two years. Currently, mainland assets account for about 13% of clients, approximately 17% of assets, and about 20% of revenue contribution. In the future, the company plans to expand into international markets.
