OSL HK has secured landmark approval from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to offer retail trading of Solana (SOL), marking the first time the cryptocurrency is available to non-professional investors in the region. The licensed exchange will support SOL trading through both 'Flash Trade' and 'Pro Trade' interfaces starting August 11 and August 18, 2025, respectively.
Trading pairs include SOL/HKD, SOL/USD, SOL/USDT, and SOL/USDTTRC for Flash Trade, with SOL/USD exclusively on Pro Trade. Solana now joins Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) as the fifth cryptocurrency approved for retail trading under Hong Kong's regulatory framework.
OSL Group emphasized this development reinforces their position as a compliant gateway for digital asset allocation, highlighting Hong Kong's progressive stance on cryptocurrency adoption within its regulated financial ecosystem. The approval is expected to enhance Solana's liquidity, retail accessibility, and institutional credibility in Asian markets.
