Crypto service provider HashKey Group has joined rival Coinbase in launching a global crypto exchange based out of Bermuda called HashKey Global.

加密服務供應商 HashKey Group 與競爭對手 Coinbase 一起推出了一家位於百慕達的全球加密貨幣交易所，名為 HashKey Global。

Hashkey Global managing director Ben El-Baz told Bloomberg on April 8 that after it saw Coinbase score a Bermuda license to operate its international exchange, it “looked at all the different options, and we found that to be a very, very suitable and good regulatory regime for us to expand from."

Hashkey Global 董事總經理Ben El-Baz 於4 月8 日告訴彭博社，在看到Coinbase 獲得百慕達運營其國際交易所的許可證後，它「考慮了所有不同的選擇，我們發現這是一個非常非常合適和好的選擇」。我們可以擴展的監管制度。”

He added after FTX collapsed in 2022, exchange users now “better understand what counterparty risk looks like for exchanges” and believed there was a gap for HashKey Global to combine the “user experience and product experience” of Binance and the “regulatory and safety back end” of Coinbase. 

他補充說，在2022 年FTX 崩潰後，交易所用戶現在“更好地了解了交易所的交易對手風險”，並認為HashKey Global 在將幣安的“用戶體驗和產品體驗”與“監管和安全支持」 結合起來方面存在差距。Coinbase 的結束」。

“Our goal long term within the next five years is we want to be the largest globally compliant exchange in the world.”

“我們未來五年的長期目標是成為世界上最大的全球合規交易所。”

El-Baz added that Hashkey Global’s goal is to “surpass [the volume of] what other competitors have been doing in that jurisdiction,” namely Coinbase International, which reported a 24-hour derivatives volume of $539.4 million 

El-Baz 補充說，Hashkey Global 的目標是“超越其他競爭對手在該司法管轄區所做的事情”，即 Coinbase International，該公司報告的 24 小時衍生性商品交易量為 5.394 億美元

Unlike its Hong Kong-based counterpart, which was the first to win a license to operate in the region, HashKey Global won’t serve Hong Kong, along with China, the United States and a host of other regions.

與第一家獲得在該地區營運許可證的香港同行不同，HashKey Global 不會為香港以及中國、美國和許多其他地區提供服務。

In January, the Hong Kong-based crypto exchange hit so-called unicorn status after raising nearly $100 million in a Series A funding round at a pre-money valuation of over $1.2 billion.

今年 1 月，這家總部位於香港的加密貨幣交易所在 A 輪融資中籌集了近 1 億美元，投前估值超過 12 億美元，達到了所謂的獨角獸地位。

The exchange said the funds would be put toward its business arms, which include asset management, a blockchain node validation service, a tokenization service and a Web3 incubation arm.

該交易所表示，這些資金將用於其業務部門，包括資產管理、區塊鏈節點驗證服務、代幣化服務和 Web3 孵化部門。

El- 表示，在接下來的六個月中，該交易所將提供現貨和期貨交易、質押服務、專案啟動板，並將「在第一天就有流動性提供者和做市商，以確保市場足夠深度」。巴茲。

El-Baz was tight-lipped when asked how much money HashKey fronted for its new exchange effort only saying that it believed it was “adequately capitalized” and that Bermuda has a “very strong awareness of the type of capitalization requirements that are needed for licensed institutions.”

當被問及HashKey 為其新的交易所項目投入了多少錢時，El-Baz 守口如瓶，只是表示相信自己“資本充足”，並且百慕大“對獲得許可所需的資本要求類型有非常強烈的認識” 。機構」。

The exchange is, at launch, crypto only. It has 20 cryptocurrencies trading in Tether (USDT) pairs including Bitcoin (BTC) Ether (ETH), USD Coin (USDC) and Dogecoin (DOGE).
