OSL HK, Hong Kong’s first licensed cryptocurrency exchange, has received approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to offer Solana (SOL) trading services to retail investors.
This makes SOL the fifth cryptocurrency available to retail investors in Hong Kong. Similar approvals have been granted previously for BTC, ETH, AVAX, and LINK.
According to a statement from OSL HK, Solana trading will be accessible to both professional and individual investors. The platform will support both “Flash Trade” and “Pro Trade” methods.
Supported trading pairs will be:
- Flash Trade: SOL/HKD, SOL/USD, SOL/USDT, SOL/USDTTRC
- Pro Trade: SOL/USD
Flash Trade operations will begin on August 11, 2025 at 18:00 (UTC+3), and Pro Trade operations will begin on August 18, 2025 at 11:00 (UTC+3).
Hong Kong is recognized as a special region of mainland China and, unlike China, largely allows the use of cryptocurrencies and corporate activities.
