加密服务提供商 HashKey Group 与竞争对手 Coinbase 一起推出了一家位于百慕大的全球加密货币交易所，名为 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 董事总经理 Ben El-Baz 于 4 月 8 日告诉彭博社，在看到 Coinbase 获得百慕大运营其国际交易所的许可证后，它“考虑了所有不同的选择，我们发现这是一个非常非常合适和好的选择”。我们可以扩展的监管制度。”

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. 

他补充说，在 2022 年 FTX 崩溃后，交易所用户现在“更好地了解了交易所的交易对手风险”，并认为 HashKey Global 在将币安的“用户体验和产品体验”与“监管和安全支持”结合起来方面存在差距。 Coinbase 的结束”。

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

“我们未来五年的长期目标是成为世界上最大的全球合规交易所。”

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 补充说，Hashkey Global 的目标是“超越其他竞争对手在该司法管辖区所做的事情”，即 Coinbase International，该公司报告的 24 小时衍生品交易量为 5.394 亿美元

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.

与第一家获得在该地区运营许可证的香港同行不同，HashKey Global 不会为香港以及中国、美国和许多其他地区提供服务。

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，这家总部位于香港的加密货币交易所在 A 轮融资中筹集了近 1 亿美元，投前估值超过 12 亿美元，从而达到了所谓的独角兽地位。

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.

该交易所表示，这些资金将用于其业务部门，包括资产管理、区块链节点验证服务、代币化服务和 Web3 孵化部门。

El- 表示，在接下来的六个月中，该交易所将提供现货和期货交易、质押服务、项目启动板，并将“在第一天就有流动性提供者和做市商，以确保市场足够深度”。巴兹。

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.”

当被问及 HashKey 为其新的交易所项目投入了多少钱时，El-Baz 守口如瓶，只是表示相信自己“资本充足”，并且百慕大“对获得许可所需的资本要求类型有非常强烈的认识”。机构”。

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).
