HashKey Exchange can now expand its business scope from serving professional investors to retail users.
Hong Kong’s first license to a cryptocurrency exchange to serve retail customers has gone to HashKey Exchange under the city’s new crypto rules that aim to make the region a crypto hub.
HashKey Exchange, a virtual asset exchange based in Hong Kong which is part of HashKey Group, a digital asset financial services group, announced the development saying it can now expand its business scope from serving professional investors to retail users.
“As an existing Type 1 and Type 7 licenses holder, HashKey Exchange successfully underwent a simplified process to obtain the licence upgrade … to expand its business scope from serving professional investors to retail users, fulfilling market demand for a licensed platform that offers users a safer and simpler process for buying and storing cryptocurrencies.” the exchange said.
Earlier, the HashKey Group had announced plans to introduce a regulated exchange in the second quarter to service retail customers and plans to raise funds at a $1 billion valuation to capitalize on Hong Kong’s re-emergence as a potential crypto hub.
