ZA Bank, Hong Kong’s biggest digital bank, is making waves by letting its customers trade crypto directly through its app. This is a big deal – it’s the first time an Asian bank has offered this to regular users.
Easy Crypto Trading, Right in the App
Forget juggling multiple platforms. ZA Bank’s new service simplifies crypto trading, letting you buy and sell popular cryptocurrencies using Hong Kong dollars (HKD) and US dollars (USD) all within their app.
Partnering for Security and Success
To make this happen, ZA Bank teamed up with HashKey Exchange, one of Hong Kong’s three licensed crypto exchanges. HashKey’s secure platform, HashKey Pro, powers the service, providing robust features and ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely.
What ZA Bank and HashKey Said
ZA Bank’s Alternate Chief Executive, Calvin Ng, sees this as a great opportunity for investors to diversify. He stressed their commitment to security and compliance, highlighting HashKey’s role in meeting those standards.
HashKey Exchange CEO, Livio Weng, sees the partnership as a major step forward for Hong Kong’s Web3 scene. He praised ZA Bank’s leadership in fintech and highlighted HashKey’s role in ensuring compliance with regulations.
Hong Kong’s Growing Crypto Scene
This collaboration shines a light on Hong Kong’s push to become a major player in the crypto and blockchain world. It also reflects the growing acceptance of crypto by major institutions – like BlackRock recently adding crypto ETF options. This move by ZA Bank is another sign that crypto is becoming more mainstream.
