The approvals came more than two months after the State Council, the cabinet, gave the green light to pilot the business on a trial basis.

The CSRC in January issued a guideline for margin trading, saying applicant securities companies should each have at least 5 billion yuan ($732 million) of net capital in the last six months.
Securities companies were also required to use their own funds and securities for the margin trading business.
