OKX and Bybit both list Hong Kong under official service restrictions, and Binance’s affiliate guidance restricts promotion here. Kraken’s public market table shows spot pairs without confirming whether a Hong Kong resident can open an account or which company would provide it. A market listing is not an account permission.
This page covers 4 platforms: 2 record an official service restriction, 2 remain unconfirmed. 4 of those records carry an official source and a review date.

Read the platform profileOrdered by platform name, not as a ranking. A published local service does not mean you personally qualify to open an account, and unknown fees are never treated as zero.
Understanding fees
A reproducible hypothetical example shows how funding, trading and withdrawal charges change a comparison, before you check a real quote.
Choosing a platform
Prepare personal information and a funding route; confirm accepted documents and referral conditions on the official platform.
Funding & withdrawals
The same asset name does not establish network compatibility. Start with the recipient’s instructions.
