Hong Kong's ZA Bank has begun offering retail customers direct cryptocurrency trading services, marking the first such practice in the Asian region.
Now, in the ZA Bank app, users can seamlessly trade top cryptocurrencies in HKD and USD. Everything on one platform, with no need to switch between apps or platforms, as stated in the press release.
To implement this initiative, the bank engaged specialists from Hong Kong cryptocurrency exchange HashKey and used the institutional-level service HashKey Pro, which helps financial organizations integrate cryptocurrency trading functions.
HashKey Pro offers API trading, block trading services, and enterprise-level account structure management.
HashKey Exchange will continue to work closely with ZA Bank to stimulate the development of the Web3 ecosystem while providing more diversified financial services to our users, noted HashKey CEO Livio Wen.
Currently, HashKey is one of three licensed cryptocurrency exchanges in Hong Kong, alongside OSL and HKVAX.
