HashKey Exchange, where all client funds are fully protected by institutional asset custody services.

HSK: HashKey’s Eco-power

The highly anticipated HSK is a HashKey eco-token based on the standard ERC-20 protocol. HSK will power the entire HashKey ecosystem. In addition to being a trading platform token, the HSK license gives holders a range of privileges, including discounts on transaction fees, exclusive token preemptions, community voting rights, and various value-added services. In order to maintain the scarcity of HSK, HashKey will periodically withdraw 20% of the credit from the application business for repurchase.

A milestone in the development of Web3 in Hong Kong

The official launch of the HashKey Exchange is undoubtedly a milestone in the crypto space in Hong Kong. It extends from the primary market to the secondary market, which is of great significance to the promotion of Web3 development in Hong Kong. This compelling platform will inject new vitality into Hong Kong’s digital economy and bring even more possibilities to the global crypto community.

Look into the future

Although HashKey Exchange is not currently available for China mainland users, we believe that over time HashKey Exchange will continue to grow and expand its services to meet the needs of more users. For partners who meets the condition of HK $8 million, they are about to complete KYC, and get 500 HSK rewards. The future of HSK will be immeasurable.

The US official revealed that current discussions focus on whether the US will allow previously sanctioned vessels to transport 'legitimate oil.' Here, 'legitimate oil' refers to crude oil or petroleum products not subject to US sanctions, rather than oil from Russia and Iran that is under sanctions.
