HashKey Capital Secures Type 4 & Type 9 Licenses in Hong Kong

After the acquisition of Type 9 licence, HashKey Capital, a digital asset and blockchain leader, has received a Type 4 licence from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). 

This progress makes HashKey Capital the first licensed corporation capable of providing both securities and virtual asset management and advisory services for retail investors, reflecting the company's commitment to expanding its investment-related services.

The Type 4 license allows HashKey Capital to offer securities and virtual asset advisory services. The Type 9 licence, which was obtained earlier this year, authorizes the firm to manage virtual asset investment products for retail investors.

"Securing the Type 4 licence and Type 9 licence upgrade from the SFC are significant steps for us as a team. This achievement reflects our dedication to serving the growing needs of retail and professional investors who seek guidance in navigating the evolving virtual asset landscape. We remain committed to delivering thoughtful insights to support our clients in making investment decisions," said Deng Chao, the CEO of HashKey Capital.

Early April, HashKey Capital's parent company, HashKey Group, has launched a global cryptocurrency exchange named HashKey Global​, as part of the group's international expansion.
