HashKey Group, a Hong Kong-based digital asset management and blockchain solutions provider, announced that it has appointed Livio Weng as its Group Chief Operating Officer (COO). He was the CEO of crypto exchange Huobi Global from 2018 to 2021.

The group is one of the two firms in Hong Kong licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to operate a virtual asset trading platform.

HashKey also holds a license from the Financial Services Agency of Japan and has been granted an exemption from holding a license under the Payment Services Act to provide digital payment token (DPT) services from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The company had recently made a series of senior executive team members as it moves on to the next stage of its growth plans.

Livio said,

“We are at the tipping point of the virtual asset market where licensed and regulated exchanges will become an industry mainstream. HashKey Group is one of the world’s earliest blockchain evangelists, and over the years we have grown into one of Asia’s leading digital assets financial services company.

 

I will work closely with the team to focus on the sustainable growth of the Group and lead HashKey to become a reputable and fully compliant global virtual asset ecosystem.”
