History
Established in 2018 in Hong Kong, HashKey Group concentrates on providing regulated financial services related to digital assets, combining traditional finance principles with blockchain technology. Its primary clientele includes institutional and professional investors, with a strong focus on ensuring regulatory compliance.
In August 2023, HashKey together with OSL became the inaugural companies authorized by Hong Kong’s SFC to operate cryptocurrency exchanges serving retail customers.
By 2024, HashKey broadened its global presence by acquiring a Class F license in Bermuda, allowing it to engage in various digital asset operations. Additionally, the company gained Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration from the Central Bank of Ireland, facilitating its access to markets within the European Union.
In January 2025, Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) granted HashKey conditional approval. Subsequently, in May 2025, HashKey introduced HashKey Global MENA, a platform designed for the Middle East region, featuring fiat on- and off-ramp capabilities in AED and USD to accommodate local investors.
