Hong Kong, Sep. 4, 2025 — HashKey Exchange, Hong Kong’s largest* licensed virtual asset trading platform, has officially launched its Marketplace function. The new function enables OTC block trade users to compare quotes from multiple active liquidity providers in real time, with the option of instant settlement or delayed settlement. This feature is designed primarily for institutional investors, asset management firms, family offices, and high-net-worth clients, but is also partially open to retail users. Key use cases include large-scale asset allocation and quarter-end or month-end settlements.
Traditionally, OTC block trades rely heavily on manual communication and individual quote requests—a time-consuming process prone to inefficiencies and additional costs caused by information asymmetry. HashKey Exchange Marketplace changes that by providing full transparency in quote comparison across multiple liquidity providers, allowing clients to select the most competitive price and track order progress in real time for greater control. The platform adopts an “all-in pricing” model, covering all transaction costs in a single quote. Users can also choose between instant settlement (as fast as seconds) and delayed settlement, making large trades safer, faster, and smoother.
Currently, Marketplace aggregates quotes from four active liquidity providers, with transaction sizes ranging from US$10 to US$10 million per trade.
Users can complete an OTC block trade in just three steps:
Request Submission – Selection of token, settlement method, and trade amount.
Quote Comparison – Aggregation of all-in quotes from top market makers for one-click selection.
Trade Execution – Confirmation within the quote validity period, with automatic RFQ ID and transaction record generation for full traceability and auditability.
Emma Shi, Head of HashKey OTC, commented: “For large-scale traders, transparency builds trust, efficiency creates an edge, and security ensures resilience. That’s why we keep enhancing our product experience—making pricing more transparent, trading more efficient, and settlement more secure. Looking ahead, we’ll continue to navigate with compliance as our compass and put clients at the center as we advance toward a more professional and robust future together.”
HashKey Exchange will continue to optimize the OTC block trading experience, expanding both the depth and breadth of its services. Additionally, the platform plans to foster an open, collaborative ecosystem, promoting industry-wide cooperation and communication to drive the healthy development of the virtual asset market.
