On July 2, Futu Holdings declined 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $94.86/share, with turnover of $106 million. The stock continues to face pressure from multiple negative catalysts related to Chinese regulatory actions and fresh legal concerns.
On the news front, Susquehanna International Group recently filed a lawsuit alleging large-scale insider trading ahead of the May 22 regulatory announcement. The complaint claims that unidentified traders purchased approximately $12 million in put options on Futu and Tiger Brokers shares in the two weeks prior to the China Securities Regulatory Commission's enforcement action, generating profits exceeding $100 million — a return of over 900%. Some of these trades were reportedly executed through Interactive Brokers and platforms operated by Futu and Tiger Brokers themselves.
The regulatory backdrop remains challenging as Futu's mainland China service suspension — halting all buy-side transactions and fund inflows — took effect on June 12 as part of a two-year concentrated remediation period. The CSRC has proposed fines totaling approximately RMB 1.85 billion for unauthorized securities and futures business operations on the mainland.
