Hong Kong, 3 August 2023 – HashKey Exchange, a Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) licensed virtual asset exchange, officially announces the upgrade of Type 1 and Type 7 licences, marking the first licensed trading platform in Hong Kong to offer retail services. As an existing Type 1 and Type 7 licences holder, HashKey Exchange successfully underwent a simplified process to obtain the licence upgrade. The successful license upgrade allows HashKey Exchange to expand its business scope from serving professional investors to retail users, fulfilling market demand for a licensed platform that offers users a safer and simpler process for buying and storing cryptocurrencies. HashKey Exchange also announces a brand revamp, now providing both professional investors and retail users with more secure and convenient virtual asset trading experiences.

Livio Weng, COO of HashKey Group said:” We are thrilled to become the first licenced trading platform in Hong Kong dedicated to serving retail users. With the establishment of licenced trading platforms and the further clarity of regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong, the industry as a whole will witness increased transparency, leading to a significant boost in investor confidence. As an industry leader, we will continue to fulfill our commitments in compliance, safety and security, ensuring our user benefits are fully protected and creating a trading platform tailored to retail users.”

Safety remains a top priority for HashKey Exchange. The platform was designed and developed from the outset in accordance with regulatory requirements to achieve native compliance, with a focus on multi-layered protection of user assets. User funds are kept under segregated accounts, separated from platform operations, with 98% in cold storage and 2% in hot wallets. In addition, the platform strictly adheres to regulatory requirements and undergoes regular audits and compliance inspections conducted by the Big 4 auditing firms, establishing itself as one of the most secure exchanges globally.

In addition to supporting fiat currency deposits and withdrawals, HashKey Exchange will establish more partnerships with top tier banks to provide convenient fiat currency funding and withdrawal services for users. Furthermore, the platform has opened the only compliant OTC trading in the Asia-Pacific region, offering users more trading options.

Simultaneously, HashKey Exchange has officially launched its virtual asset over-the-counter (OTC) trading service, HashKey Brokerage. This is the first compliant OTC trading platform in Hong Kong following the implementation of the new virtual asset exchange regulatory framework by the Securities and Futures Commission in June. The platform offers high liquidity bulk trading for investors and high-net-worth clients, providing a secure and reliable channel for fund circulation.

In addition to supporting fiat on-and-off ramps, HashKey Exchange has also partnered up with Standard Chartered Bank to provide users with convenient fiat currency deposit and withdrawal services. At the same time, we also offer compliant OTC trading services, expanding users’ trading options.

Recently, HashKey Exchange has been actively expanding its team, onboarding over ten senior professionals with extensive experience in exchange operations. They will collaborate with top financial experts in Hong Kong to form the core team of HashKey Exchange, ensuring exceptional product quality and user experience.

HashKey Exchange has officially opened pre-registration, and registered users will be rewarded with HashKey EcoPoints (HSK). To commemorate this milestone, a grand ceremony will be held in August, bringing together industry leaders, banking partners, insurance institutions, and universities to celebrate and unveil product details.

How Bitcoin Lotteries Work and Differ from Conventional Lotteries

Crypto Chain Wire

Published

on

The world of lottery just got an upgrade and it is global, secure, and powered by the future of finance: Bitcoin.

In this article, we dive into the exciting world of Bitcoin Lottery which offers a seamless and transparent experience. We will break down what Bitcoin lotteries are, how they work, and what sets them apart from your conventional lottery system.

What is a Bitcoin Lottery?

Bitcoin lotteries work like traditional lotteries but with a modern digital spin. Instead of using fiat currency, participants use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Here’s how it works: you buy a lottery ticket with cryptocurrency, choose your numbers, and wait for the draw. If your numbers match the drawn numbers, you win a prize – paid out in Bitcoin or other chosen cryptocurrencies.

What Makes Bitcoin Lottery Games Stand Out?

Here are the features that make Bitcoin lottery games a top choice for players.

  • Transparency and Fairness: One of the biggest advantages of the Bitcoin lottery is the use of blockchain technology. Blockchain ensures that every transaction and draw is recorded on a decentralized ledger that’s accessible to all players. This transparency eliminates worries about rigged results as players can verify each draw independently.
  • Security: Using cryptographic algorithms, Bitcoin lottery games offer extra security. The decentralized nature of blockchain means malicious actors can’t manipulate the results of the draws.
  • Global Accessibility: Unlike traditional lotteries which are limited by geographical boundaries, crypto lotteries are accessible from anywhere in the world. As long as you have an internet connection and a digital wallet, you can play. This global reach increases the player base and potentially the prize pool.

Regular Lotteries vs. Bitcoin Lotteries: A Comparison

1. The most obvious distinction is the utilized currency. Ordinary lotteries utilize fiat currency like dollars or euros, whereas a Bitcoin lottery uses Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

2. Transactions in Bitcoin lotteries are faster and may have lower fees than buying traditional lottery tickets. This is so because Bitcoin transactions eliminate intermediaries like banks, therefore lowering the delays and expenses related to bank fees and currency exchanges.

3. Prizes in Bitcoin lotteries are in BTC or other cryptocurrencies which can be attractive because of the potential for value growth. Certain Bitcoin lotteries also provide quick payouts, hence improving the convenience for the winners.

4. Bitcoin lotteries usually employ “provably fair” algorithms. Unlike other lotteries, this system lets players use cryptographic techniques to confirm the fairness of the draw outcomes.

Why should one try a Bitcoin Lottery?

Apart from the thrill of maybe winning large, crypto lotteries provide several special benefits:

• Safe and open: You can verify every single draw and transaction.

• There are no geographical restrictions; play wherever on the planet.

• Cut expenses by means of lower transaction fees.

• Instant Payouts: Get your winnings easily and quickly. 

Bottom Line

With improved security, transparency, and worldwide accessibility, a Bitcoin lottery presents a fascinating and creative variation of the classic lottery.

These lotteries are a reliable choice for gamers all around as they guarantee fair and clear results by integrating blockchain technology. Regardless of your experience level, Bitcoin lottery games provide a modern way to try your luck and potentially win big.
