HashKey shares start trading in Hong Kong, as the city increasingly embraces crypto

Shares of digital asset firm Hashkey Group start trading in Hong Kong today, following the firm’s IPO last week. The Chinese city has steadily embraced digital assets since 2022 as it tries to maintain its status as a global financial center.
