HashKey Group, an end-to-end digital asset financial services group in Asia, and OKX, a global Web3 technology company and crypto exchange, announced plans to “create a partnership to promote compliant virtual asset innovation and industry development in Hong Kong.”
The planned collaboration is to “include various industry programs, including cooperation on blockchain infrastructure development, product development and diversification, and virtual asset investment education initiatives, with a focus on the Hong Kong market.”
OKX Ventures, the investment arm of OKX, “was a participant in HashKey’s recent Series A financing round. OKX Ventures focuses its investments on projects aimed at sustainably growing the global virtual asset ecosystem.”
The cooperation between HashKey Group and OKX will “leverage the strengths and resources of both companies to deliver superior services and experiences to drive the growth of Hong Kong as a global hotspot for the regulated virtual asset industry.”
In another recent update, it was noted that OKX announced the full lineup of its ‘Solana Super Season’ campaign, which currently consists of three promotions and competitions “across the OKX Web3 and CeFi platforms, and is designed to reward users who interact with the Solana ecosystem with a share of a prize pool of up to US$150,000.”
The ‘Solana Super Season’ campaign aims to “encourage users to interact with the Solana blockchain’s ecosystem and trade Solana-based tokens and listings.”
The campaign includes the following promotions and trading competitions:
- Solana Futures Season: From January 18 at 04:00 (UTC) to January 31, 2024 at 03:59 (UTC), eligible users trading any of the following perpetual listings on OKX’s centralized exchange will have the opportunity to claim a share of a 100,000 USDT reward pool: SOL/USDT, GMT/USDT, PYTH/USDT, BONK/USDT and JTO/USDT. The winners will be determined by ranking the top 50 users with the highest percentage of Profit and Loss (PnL).
In addition, new users who sign up “to OKX and join the competition within the campaign period will enjoy a 10% boost on their PnL percentage score on the competition’s leaderboard. The first 3,500 eligible users who trade at least 25,000 USDT worth of SOL/USDT, GMT/USDT, PYTH/USDT, BONK/UST or JTO/USDT on OKX’s perpetual futures market will also receive 350,000 BONK tokens.”

Web3 DeFi is a powerful DeFi platform that “supports earning and staking on about 70 protocols across more than 10 chains.”
- Cryptopedia Solana Season: From January 10, users interacting with Solana ecosystem DApps MarginFi, Jupiter, Meteora, Sniper and Kamino Finance via OKX Wallet’s Cryptopedia will have the opportunity to receive Solana-based airdrop rewards.
