HashKey Group Secures VASP Approval in Ireland to Expand Global Crypto Services

HashKey Group, a prominent Asia-based cryptocurrency financial services firm, has secured approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to operate as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) through its European division.

This milestone allows HashKey Europe to provide cryptocurrency trading and custodian wallet services, further advancing the company’s global expansion efforts.

In a statement on Tuesday, the company emphasized the strategic importance of its VASP registration in Ireland, positioning it to strengthen its presence in key international markets. This approval adds to HashKey’s growing list of regulatory achievements, with licenses already obtained in regions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Bermuda.

Notably, HashKey Exchange was among the first platforms to receive a license under Hong Kong’s revamped regulatory framework in 2023, enabling it to offer retail crypto trading services. Beyond regulatory advances, HashKey has also developed innovative blockchain solutions, launching its Ethereum Layer 2 platform, HashKey Chain, on mainnet in December.

HashKey Group’s portfolio spans a range of crypto-focused services, including HashKey Exchange, HashKey Global, HashKey Capital, HashKey OTC, HashKey Cloud, and HashKey Tokenisation, underscoring its multifaceted approach to advancing digital asset adoption worldwide.
