Hashkey to Allow Individual and Enterprise Market Makers on Hong Kong Crypto Exchange

Hashkey, a licensed crypto exchange in Hong Kong, is set to allow individual and enterprise market makers to provide liquidity on the platform. Interested parties must trade at least $5 million worth of cryptocurrencies per month and have their business plans reviewed before being invited to sign a contract with the exchange's due diligence team. Market makers will receive commission based on monthly rankings or trading volume, with the highest tier requiring a trading volume of at least $100 million per month. Other Hong Kong-regulated exchanges, such as OSL, have also expanded their services and partnerships since receiving licenses in August.
