SEBA and HashKey have signed a strategic partnership to accelerate digital asset adoption in Hong Kong and Switzerland. 

Swiss crypto lender SEBA and Hong Kong digital asset firm Hashkey have entered a strategic partnership, according to a statement. Through this partnership, HashKey will become SEBA Bank's digital asset trading and market development partner in Hong Kong while SEBA will be the banking partner for HashKey in Switzerland. 

«Hong Kong is a leading jurisdiction globally in the licensing provision of crypto products and services. It is important that the SEBA group becomes part of this ecosystem as a trusted, secure and transparent counterparty in this regulated crypto environment,» said SEBA chief executive Franz Bergmueller.
