Hong Kong's largest licensed virtual asset trading platform, HashKey Exchange, announced a partnership with the global top-tier institutional liquidity provider, B2C2. Through this in-depth collaboration, the two parties will seamlessly connect the global multi-currency fiat trading network, injecting high-quality liquidity into Hong Kong's virtual asset industry.
Adhering to the "compliance-first" principle, B2C2 and HashKey are highly aligned in terms of compliance orientation. As an industry-leading crypto liquidity provider, B2C2 has established business coverage globally, including the UK, US, Japan, Singapore, France, and Luxembourg, supporting trading scenarios for major currencies such as USD, EUR, HKD, JPY, and GBP, with a cumulative trading volume approaching $1 trillion.

HashKey Exchange Co-CEO Ru Haiyang said: "We are delighted to partner with B2C2. The high degree of alignment in compliance standards has laid a solid foundation for this collaboration. Previously, the Hong Kong government's 'A-S-P-I-Re' roadmap mentioned that attracting global liquidity resources is a key direction for driving the development of the virtual asset industry. Through this partnership, we will leverage B2C2's liquidity support to jointly shape a more open and trustworthy digital finance ecosystem."
David Rogers, B2C2's Asia Pacific CEO, said: "We are seeing exciting growth in the Asia Pacific digital asset market. The increasingly clear regulatory environment has encouraged greater interest from institutional investors, and has also facilitated the establishment of well-regulated licensed exchanges to serve them. As a global leading liquidity provider, we are honored to collaborate with HashKey Exchange and support the development of a resilient and sustainable digital asset ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region."
