BC Technology Group, the operator of Hong Kong’s publicly listed cryptocurrency exchange OSL, has announced a significant investment from industry firm BGX.

BC Technology entered into a partnership with BGX, which agreed to subscribe for shares in BC Technology for an investment of about 710 million Hong Kong dollars ($90.1 million).

This strategic investment will involve the subscription of new shares under a specific mandate, subject to approval by shareholders, the announcement notes.

According to the firms, the investment marks a testament to OSL’s commitment to setting new standards in digital asset security, compliance and technological innovation. As previously reported by Cointelegraph, OSL was one of the first crypto exchanges to acquire a Hong Kong crypto license in 2023.

The BGX partnership news comes the day after BC Technology halted trading OSL shares on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

According to industry sources, an unconfirmed report implied that OSL was acquired by or received investment from Bitget, an exchange that officially announced its departure from the Hong Kong market on November 13th.

OSL operator BC Technology has reportedly considered selling the OSL exchange for $1 billion Hong Kong dollars, or $128 million.

It looks to us as though a cabinet shuffle is on the cards, and some new shareholders will have a say on the innovation associated.

Stay tuned for further updates, however something is definitely cooking in Hong Kong!
