Adhering to the concept of "compliance first", B2C2 and HashKey are highly compatible in terms of compliance. As the industry's top crypto liquidity provider, B2C2 has established business coverage around the world, including the UK, the US, Japan, Singapore, France and Luxembourg, and can support trading scenarios for mainstream currencies including the US dollar, euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen and British pound, with a cumulative trading volume of nearly one trillion US dollars.

Ru Haiyang, Co-CEO of HashKey Exchange Business Group, said : "We are very pleased to reach a cooperation with B2C2. The high degree of alignment between the two parties in compliance standards has laid a solid foundation for this cooperation. Previously, the 'ASPI-Re' roadmap proposed by the Hong Kong government mentioned that attracting global liquidity resources is one of the key directions to promote the development of the virtual asset industry. Through this cooperation, we will rely on B2C2's liquidity support to jointly shape a more open and trustworthy digital financial ecosystem."
David Rogers, CEO of B2C2 Asia Pacific, said: "We are seeing exciting growth in the digital asset market in the Asia Pacific region. The increasing clarity of the regulatory environment has encouraged greater interest from institutional investors, while also facilitating the establishment of well-regulated licensed exchanges to serve them. As a leading global liquidity provider, we are proud to partner with HashKey Exchange and support the Asia Pacific region in building a resilient and sustainable digital asset ecosystem."
