SINGAPORE—China’s securities regulator said two Nasdaq-listed online brokers violated its domestic laws by allowing customers on the mainland to make cross-border trades, stoking concerns that Chinese authorities aren’t finished with their crackdowns on private-sector companies.
The American depositary receipts of Up Fintech Holding Ltd., which is also known as Tiger Brokers, and Futu Holdings Ltd. fell around 20% in Friday morning New York trading after the China Securities Regulatory Commission put out a statement that mentioned both companies.
