This collaboration will integrate multi-currency fiat trading networks, driving market efficiency and further solidifying Hong Kong’s status as a premier hub for regulated virtual asset trading.
Both HashKey Exchange and B2C2 share a deep-rooted commitment to regulatory excellence.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for HashKey Exchange in expanding institutional access to the digital assets market in Asia-Pacific. HashKey Exchange has obtained regulatory approvals from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), holding a Type 1 (Dealing in Securities) license, a Type 7 (Providing Automated Trading Services) license under the Securities and Futures Ordinance and a virtual asset trading platform operator license under the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance.
HashKey Exchange BG Co-Chief Executive Officer, Haiyang Ru commented:
“B2C2’s liquidity infrastructure will play a key role in fostering a more open and trusted digital finance ecosystem. This collaboration underscores our alignment with Hong Kong’s strategic vision for the future of virtual assets.”
David Rogers, APAC CEO at B2C2, stated: “We are seeing exciting growth in the APAC digital assets market. Increasing regulatory clarity has encouraged greater interest from institutional investors, as well as the establishment of well-regulated, licensed trading venues to serve them. As a leading global liquidity provider, we’re proud to partner with HashKey Exchange and to support the growth of a resilient and sustainable digital assets ecosystem in Asia-Pacific.”
