Robust Digital Gains

OSL offers one of the leading digital asset platforms for institutional and professional investors to trade safely and securely.

OSL is one of Asia’s leading digital asset platforms with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London and the Americas. It delivers best-in-class access to digital assets, leads the regulated institutional evolution of the market, and is setting the global standard for innovation, performance, security and compliance. Its core businesses are prime brokerage, exchange, custody and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Another key focus for OSL is global compliance, and the company recently acquired a Money Services Business (MSB) registration from the United States Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

As a member of HKSE-listed BC Technology Group (stock code : 863 HK), OSL is the first company to receive a licence for Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 7 (providing automated trading services) regulated activities related to digital assets from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). It is also audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm and provides cold wallet insurance. OSL has strategic partnerships with the Alternative Investment Management Association and FinTech Association of Hong Kong.

Secure Technology

“Our cutting-edge technology is resilient and comes with a rich set of custom built protections including custody and trading limits, segregation of duties and systematic escalation processes,” said Wayne Trench, CEO of OSL.

OSL is focused on the institutional and professional investor segment, including high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), traders, brokers, funds and digital asset natives. The company provides customers with a seasoned team of experienced traders, deep global liquidity, 24/7 services, and leading digital asset technology.

As a global and fully digital company, OSL has benefited from increased Internet use and market volatility during the pandemic. Over the past two years, the company has seen rapidly increasing client demand and trading.

“We are optimistic on the path forward for digital assets in Hong Kong and highly confident that recent surges in business digitisation will lead to accelerated adoption of digital assets by mainstream finance in Asia and globally,” stated Trench.

Government Foresight

Trench also noted the foresight of Hong Kong’s SFC which first set forth digital asset guidelines in 2018, leading to the establishment of the city’s digital asset regulatory framework.

“The SFC applies the same level of regulation and consumer protection to digital assets as it does with traditional securities, making Hong Kong one of the most investor-friendly and secure jurisdictions for digital asset investors. Several of the world’s most successful digital asset companies have set up or listed here over the past few years. With the government’s forward thinking approach, we expect the sector to grow exponentially in the near future.”

Trench added, “Hong Kong is a hub for international companies looking to do business in Greater China and across the region, as well as a jumping off point for China and other Asia-based companies to do business globally. This creates a dynamic working and living environment that is conducive to growth and innovation, with a location at the heart of Asia’s growth engine.”
