Commenting on the transaction, Winni Cheuk, head of sales at UBS Global Markets, said that blockchain-issued warrants enhance transparency as well as reduce transaction fees, allowing for “more flexible trading hours.”
Pan added that both companies are planning to double down on use cases of blockchain technologies in an effort to leverage blockchain to open “another new chapter in digital financial product issuance and distribution in Asia, showcasing the transformative potential of this technology.”
Established in 2018, OSL was the first crypto exchange platform to receive a virtual asset trading license from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission. The latest development follows UBS’s recent initiative <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-etf-trading-now-available-for-ubs-clients-in-hong-kong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">to allow</a> wealthy clients in Hong Kong to access three crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), further indicating the growing acceptance of digital assets in traditional financial markets.
