Weng highlighted several challenges the exchange currently faces, including restrictions on overseas customers due to debit card authentication, limited trading to only two available cryptocurrencies for retail investors.
Weng emphasized the importance of offering low-risk leverage instruments that will facilitate hedging for both institutional and private investors and enable them to effectively participate in inter-market arbitrage and risk management.
He underlined the need for collaborative efforts with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to address these challenges.
The CEO acknowledged that HashKey Exchange must work with regulatory bodies such as the SFC to overcome obstacles that hinder the development and diversification of the cryptocurrency market in Hong Kong.
