PANews reported on January 15 that at the HashKey Group 2025 Outlook Conference held today, HashKey Group Chief Risk and Compliance Officer Ru Haiyang announced that HashKey Exchange achieved outstanding results in 2024: the capital scale exceeded HK$10 billion, and the transaction volume exceeded HK$600 billion, continuing to maintain its position as the largest licensed virtual asset exchange in Hong Kong. At the same time, the over-the-counter trading (OPT) business grew significantly, with a year-on-year increase of up to 160%.
Ru Haiyang mentioned that thanks to the promotion of Hong Kong's virtual asset policy, the entry of traditional financial institutions and corporate customers has been accelerated. HashKey Exchange currently provides professional virtual asset trading and custody services to hundreds of companies, and the annual growth rate of corporate users has reached 160%. Many mainstream brokerages promote virtual asset trading to end users in the form of comprehensive accounts Omnibus. The asset scale of this part has reached HK$2 billion, and the relevant transaction volume has exceeded HK$10 billion in 2024. This series of milestones further consolidates HashKey Exchange's position as the core of Hong Kong's virtual asset ecosystem.
Ru Haiyang also mentioned that HashKey Exchange has reached a strategic cooperation with ZhongAn Bank, helping it become the first bank in Asia to provide virtual asset trading services to retail customers. In addition, HashKey Exchange also provides encrypted asset trading services to many companies, including US and Hong Kong listed companies, to help them optimize asset allocation through methods such as hoarding coins. In terms of product diversity, HashKey Exchange has launched a "flash exchange" function based on the original spot and over-the-counter transactions. Users can quickly complete the purchase of Bitcoin and Ethereum through "one-click payment" without waiting for the limit order to be executed. This function significantly improves the trading experience and meets the market's demand for efficient transactions. We look forward to greater breakthroughs on this basis in 2025.
