The demand for cryptocurrency is rapidly growing as the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF inches closer. Institutions and crypto firms across the world are expanding their businesses to get benefits from this upcoming approval.
Zodia’s aggressive expansion with top institutional backingBy looking at this, Zodia, an institutional cryptocurrency custody platform backed by giants like Standard Chartered, Japanese SBI Holdings, and financial firm Northern Trust, also aims to expand its operations.
Recently, on October 29, 2023, Zodia’s CEO, Julian Sawyer, announced the launch of its
crypto services in Hong Kong as the crypto services in Hong Kong are significantly surging, as per local media reports. This aggressive move by Zodia comes after the launch of its services in countries like Japan, Australia, and Singapore in the recent month. Zodia launches Crypto services in Hong KongSawyer also pointed out that the demand for cryptocurrency in Hong Kong is primarily driven by institutional investors, with limited involvement from retail investors. Zodia’s services align well with what institutional investors are seeking.
Furthermore, Sawyer mentioned that the Hong Kong government’s favorable stance on crypto aligns with Zodia’s vision, as they view digital assets as part of the future. Hong Kong is currently one of the leading countries in Asia for crypto adoption, with the intention to establish itself as a crypto hub.
The reason behind Zodia’s aggressive crypto offerings is due to the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies by the institutions in these countries.
