Hashkey Launches Bitcoin & Ethereum Futures Trading After Regulatory Nod

HashKey Global has announced that it has secured regulatory approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) to officially launch its futures trading platform. Initially, the platform will offer futures trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with leverage options of up to 10x.

Hashkey Global Rolls Out Bitcoin & Ethereum Futures Trading

To mark this milestone, HashKey Global is rolling out a limited-time futures trading campaign alongside a “100% Invitation Rebate on Futures” promotion. Moreover, it will provide participants with opportunities to earn HSK rewards through trading activities or by referring new users to the platform.

Futures trading is a well-established form of derivatives trading that sees significant demand within the cryptocurrency market. However, the lack of stringent regulations has often led to issues such as platforms trading against their clients and abusive trading practices, which have caused substantial losses for investors. In addition,, these malpractices have drawn considerable criticism from the global crypto community.

Thus, HashKey Global aims to tackle these industry challenges by ensuring stringent regulatory compliance and adopting best practices to protect user assets and data. The platform guarantees the independent storage of customer assets and data. Furthermore, it strictly refrains from counterparty trading with its users. This approach minimizes the risk of price manipulation and protects customers from potential losses.

Ben El-Baz, HashKey Global Managing Director, highlighted the critical need for a regulated exchange in the crypto derivatives market. He stated, “In recent years, the crypto industry has frequently experienced significant disruptions in the derivatives market. The crypto industry has long awaited a licensed exchange to provide futures trading.”

Moreover, El-Baz added, “With regulatory approval and the official launch of futures trading, HashKey Global will provide a sophisticated and seamless trading interface and a secure, regulated asset environment. We aim to deliver a world-class futures trading experience and reshape the market landscape with ‘licensed futures trading.'”
