HasKey Exchange adds AVAX and LINK trading pairs for Hong Kong retail investors
  • HashKey Exchange lists AVAX/USD and LINK/USD for retail investors starting August 28.
  • Previously, retail investors in Hong Kong were only limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • AVAX and LINK deposits and withdrawals are possible via Avalanche and ERC20 networks respectively.

HashKey Exchange, one of Hong Kong’s two fully licensed cryptocurrency exchanges, has expanded its offerings to include Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) for retail investors. This provides Hong Kong-based investors with more diverse trading options beyond the previously available Bitcoin and Ether.

According to an announcement made by the exchange on Wednesday, the new trading pairs, AVAX/USD and LINK/USD, officially launched on August 28, 2024, at 18:00 (UTC+8).

Hong Kong retail investors can trade AVAX and LINK on HashKey Exchange

HashKey’s move marks a notable shift in the Hong Kong cryptocurrency landscape, where only professional investors had access to a broader range of cryptocurrencies.

Retail investors were previously limited to just Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

The inclusion of AVAX and LINK is expected to enhance the trading experience for retail users, offering them access to two more prominent digital assets.

Avalanche, with the ticker AVAX, is the native coin of the Avalanche network and is currently ranked as the 13th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, valued at approximately $9.3 billion. Chainlink (LINK), on the other hand, is the coin of the Chainlink oracle network, holding the 16th spot with a market cap of around $6.9 billion.

Both coins were selected for listing due to their legal clarity, avoiding the regulatory complications faced by many larger cryptocurrencies.

HashKey Exchange will allow deposits and withdrawals of AVAX through the Avalanche network and LINK via the ERC20 network.

However, it’s important to note that HashKey does not exercise voting rights associated with virtual assets on behalf of its users. Those wishing to participate in governance votes must withdraw their assets from the platform.

This listing expansion reflects Hong Kong’s evolving crypto market, accelerated by recent regulatory updates and growing interest in Web3 technologies.

With the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission (SFC) having streamlined its licensing processes, HashKey’s move is a promising step towards a more inclusive and dynamic trading environment

Kaspa (KAS) price forecast: why $0.03 is pivotal for bulls

Kaspa Price Bullish

  • Kaspa price currently mirrors the broader market, with Bitcoin struggling.
  • The KAS token recently bounced off $0.028 and is holding $0.03.
  • If a decisive breakout materializes amid likely catalysts, bulls could target $0.10 in the coming months.

Kaspa (KAS) price has declined by 22% over the past month and by over 64% since its peak above $0.13 in May 2025.

The token trades near $0.03, but remains in an extended downtrend amid prevailing weakness across the crypto market. Friday’s session saw Bitcoin retest lows of $65,600, and Ethereum dip to near $1,900, a move that pinned most altcoins lower, including Kaspa.

Why Kaspa bulls may hold the upper hand

Despite the potential for a retest of recent lows, bullish catalysts are on the horizon. Combined with current strength, these possible upside triggers suggest the advantage in the coming months lies with the buyers. What KAS needs is for bulls to navigate the broader crypto market headwinds while holding $0.03 as support.

Among key milestones is Kaspa’s network notching over 600 million total transactions.

Details on the Kaspa Explorer show that total transactions have surpassed 604 million. According to market observers, this proves that the BlockDAG protocol delivers real-world throughput with sub-second confirmations.

Also notable is Kaspa’s pivotal hard fork expected in May. Implementation will introduce programmable covenants, native assets like KRC20 tokens, and SilverScript for easier Layer 1 development.

Meanwhile, nearly 95% of its 28.7 billion max supply is already mined, and a move to the limit can only slash new coin emissions further. If broader catalysts align, the KAS price will benefit.

Kaspa price analysis

While bulls have the upper hand in terms of what’s upcoming, current price action hints at a potential battle for dominance by both buyers and sellers.

KAS has remained in a downtrend since late 2025, with lows of $0.028 in February. The daily chart highlights a key supply zone at the falling 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages, with bulls hitting a supply wall around these levels multiple times.

If the price fails to break out decisively, a combination of negative market conditions could deepen the downtrend. Support could be at $0.025

On the upside, immediate hurdles are at the 50-day and 1
