HashKey COO Livio Weng said that the exchange also plans to mint its own HSK utility token and may list it next year.
HashKey Exchange, an Asia-based cryptocurrency exchange with operations in Hong Kong, officially launched its app for retail trading today as it expands its presence in Hong Kong.
“We’ve recorded large trading volume since we began to serve retail users,” Weng said, adding that the daily trading volume reached over $100 million on Oct. 30 alone, with the volume of trading pairs BTC-USD, ETH-USD, BTC-HKD and ETH-HKD amounting to over $2.7 million. HashKey currently allows users from 17 jurisdictions — including Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Israel, the U.K. and the U.S. — to link their bank cards to deposit via fiat currency with the exchange. “We support deposits made in Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars,” Weng said.The HSK token is expected to be used as a tool that incentivizes contributors across HashKey's ecosystem to “fuel the growth of the entire ecosystem,” the exchange’s website said.
