ZA International has established a partnership with BC Technology Group which operates the city’s only licensed digital asset platform. ZA International and BC Technology Group have entered into a mutual collaboration agreement, according to a statement. ZA will use BC Technology Group as its exclusive digital asset trading partner via its Hong Kong-licensed digital asset platform OSL.

On the other hand, BC Technology will leverage ZA’s tech capabilities in areas such as facial recognition and machine learning to enhance user experience on its trading platform.

Both ZA and OSL remain in growth mode with the former reportedly considering the acquisition of Hong Kong’s largest non-bank lender late last year and the latter recently making a series of global hires.

The digital asset industry presents a thriving future, and fintech companies are well-positioned to promote the universal application of digital assets in Hong Kong through capitalizing on their technological advantages, said ZA International president Wayne Xu.
