SABA Bank Plans to Introduce a new crypto currency
Budrigannews.com – Two companies specializing in digital assets will collaborate to accelerate institutional adoption of digital assets in light of the crypto winter’s slowdown. The crypto-focused SEBA Bank announced to
Cointelegraph that it had partnered with the financial services company HashKey Group to speed up the institutional adoption of digital assets in Hong Kong and Switzerland.
The two businesses intend to develop a variety of solutions for institutional investors looking to enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Both businesses stated that they adhere to various regulatory frameworks and are committed to compliance within their respective jurisdictions.
According to SEBA Bank CEO Franz Bergmueller, Hong Kong is a leading jurisdiction when it comes to licensing crypto products and services. SEBA Bank wants to use HashKey to expand its presence in the country and enter the local digital asset ecosystem as a result.
An executive at HashKey, Michel Lee, emphasized that the company takes a “regulatory-first approach,” which indicates that it is focused on compliance. According to Lee, SEBA Bank is excited about the partnership because they operate in the same way.
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong recently granted HashKey Group permission to conduct business there.In contrast, in 2021, the SEBA Bank became the first Swiss institution to receive a digital asset custody license that enables it to provide institutional custody services.
