This exciting event for HashKey has taken place as it keeps preparing to launch HashKey PRO – a regular crypto exchange that will be regulatory compliant. As it launches, the company will be able to offer a wider range of products to its customers, according to Executive President Michel Lee. The company also expects that HashKey PRO will make a great contribution to the adoption of crypto on a large scale and ensure the trust and confidence of investors, compared to OTC crypto trading.
HashKey Group has also obtained licenses from the financial regulator of Japan (FSA) and from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
