HashKey Group Achieves VASP Registration from Central Bank of Ireland
HashKey Group Secures VASP License in Ireland
On January 9, 2025, HashKey Group, a leading provider of end-to-end digital asset financial services in Asia, proudly announced that its subsidiary, HashKey Europe Limited (HEL), has received the registration approval to operate as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) from the Central Bank of Ireland. This significant achievement represents HashKey's first fully compliant VASP license under the European Union's Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD5).
The VASP registration allows HashKey Europe to offer a broad spectrum of regulated services, such as:
- - Exchange Services: Enabling the trading of virtual assets against fiat currencies.
- - Asset Transfers: Facilitating transactions on behalf of clients, moving virtual assets between various accounts.
- - Custodial Wallet Services: Providing secure storage solutions for digital assets.
Ben El-Baz, CEO of HashKey Global, commented on this achievement, stating, "Obtaining the VASP registration from the Central Bank of Ireland marks a critical milestone in HashKey's global trading business expansion. It emphasizes our commitment to compliance, security, and building trust within the digital asset ecosystem. We are excited to establish a new presence in the EU, bringing us closer to aligning with MiCA regulations and advancing our mission to drive responsible innovation in the digital asset space."
Prior to this approval, HashKey Group had successfully acquired licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Bermuda, establishing itself as a trusted global leader in the virtual asset industry. The registration of HashKey Europe is specifically regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, focusing on anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) measures.
HashKey Group remains dedicated to fostering the sustainable growth of the virtual economy, ensuring compliance with international regulations, delivering value-added services, and promoting trust within the ecosystem. The group strives to support the deployment of blockchain technology while aiming to deliver reliable and accessible digital asset services to over one billion users worldwide.
