Hong Kong, Jul. 25, 2023 – HashKey Group’s SFC-licensed subsidiary, Hash Blockchain Limited, has formed strategic partnerships with Quam Securities and Longbridge Whale to provide virtual asset online trading services to securities firms and their clients through omnibus account and FIX API connection of HashKey’s exchange business HashKey PRO.
Last Friday at the “Far Beyond” Longbridge Whale new product launch event in Hong Kong, the three companies have officially signed a strategic partnership agreement. A live virtual asset online trade for securities firms has been successfully demonstrated and completed at the event, marking a new chapter for the adoption of virtual assets by local and global brokers.
Through HashKey PRO’s highly customisable omnibus account and FIX API connection, brokers and their clients can seamlessly connect to our deep liquidity pool and market data to trade virtual assets anytime and anywhere. As an SFC-licensed virtual assets exchange, HashKey PRO also provides a safe and compliant custodian for both institutional and individual clients.
Quam Securities is HashKey PRO’s first securities firm client in Hong Kong. HashKey Group has been committed to providing customers with compliant and secure virtual asset products and services and building a globally recognised and fully compliant virtual asset ecosystem. The virtual asset exchange under HashKey Group holds the Type 1 (Dealing with securities) and Type 7 (providing automated trading services) licenses issued by the Securities and Futures Commission, practicing the highest regulatory standards. At the same time, the exchange has obtained ISO 27001 certification for information security management and ISO 27701 certification for privacy information management and plans to launch reserve proof in the third quarter of 2023 to provide additional asset security for customers. Most importantly, all customer funds on the exchange are protected by institutional-grade custody insurance.
Livio Weng, COO of HashKey Group, said: “HashKey Group has always prioritised the protection of customers’ funds and assets and adhered to a regulatory-first policy. We are pleased to establish a strategic partnership with Quam Securities and Longbridge Whale to provide high-quality, safe, and compliant online virtual asset trading for securities firms and their customers in the local, Asia, and global markets. Both companies share the same spirit and core principles in regulatory compliance and technological innovation. Combining HashKey’s institutional-grade digital asset service ecosystem with their experience and financial infrastructure will allow us to provide customers with the safest and most seamless gateway to enter the new digital economy.”
This strategic cooperation between the three parties marks a new integration and development of the virtual asset market in the Hong Kong securities industry.
