The move mirrors the uninterrupted trading characteristic of crypto markets and removes the limitations of traditional banking hours.

Previously, USD–HKD conversions were constrained to banking hours, forcing retail users and institutions to rely on slower methods for fund transfers or hedging.

Uninterrupted fiat liquidity for crypto users

The 24/7 conversion service addresses a major friction point for institutions and retail traders alike. By providing continuous access to fiat liquidity, the platform allows users to adjust positions, hedge exposure, or move funds instantly without waiting for banks to reopen. Randall Chan, Managing Director of HashKey Exchange, said the upgrade is a key step in integrating trading, custody, and settlement into a single, seamless liquidity framework with regulatory assurance.

“This service removes longstanding liquidity bottlenecks for institutions and retail users alike. Continuous FX access aligns fiat operations with the 24/7 nature of digital asset markets,”

Chan added.

Compliance and security at the core

HashKey Exchange operates under Hong Kong’s strict regulatory framework, holding Type 1 and Type 7 licenses under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, as well as a virtual asset trading platform license under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance. The exchange is ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified, ensuring operational and data security.

The platform does not provide services to users in Mainland China, the United States, or other restricted jurisdictions, reflecting its commitment to full regulatory compliance as it expands crypto-native financial services.

In a notable development, HashKey Chain partnered with GF Securities to launch Hong Kong’s first fully on-chain tokenized security, a milestone in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and blockchain-driven financial innovation in Asia.
