ZA Bank, the largest digital bank in Hong Kong, has taken a step towards cryptocurrency trading through a partnership with the HashKey exchange, aiming to provide access to digital assets to retail users. According to representatives of the entity, this makes them "the first bank in Asia to offer such a service."
