HashKey MENA Launches HashKey Pro, an Institutional-Grade Virtual Asset Trading Platform

HashKey MENA today announced the launch of HashKey Pro, a new institutional-grade integrated platform designed to enable licensed brokers, banks, asset management firms, and other professional institutions to access digital asset trading and custody services—within a compliant, secure, and operationally robust framework.

HashKey Pro consolidates several critical institutional services onto a single platform—including order-book trading, over-the-counter request-for-quote (OTC RFQ) trading, asset custody, omnibus account support, and API connectivity. The platform is purpose-built for institutional clients seeking more stable trading infrastructure and aiming to enter or expand their presence in the digital asset market.

HashKey Pro supports bidirectional fiat-to-digital-asset on-ramps and off-ramps, facilitates large-volume transactions via its OTC interface, and enables secure settlement within the platform. It also offers institutional-grade account structures and brokerage services tailored to meet the needs of managing client funds or institutional capital flows.

Ben El-Baz, Managing Director of HashKey MENA, said: “Institutional clients require infrastructure that truly aligns with how institutional markets operate. HashKey Pro was built precisely for this need—integrating compliant market access, asset custody, professional account architecture, and technical connectivity into a single institutional-grade platform.”

The launch of HashKey Pro marks another significant milestone in HashKey MENA’s efforts to build institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure across the UAE and the broader Middle East. Designed for institutions planning to expand their digital asset business, the platform delivers high-caliber service assurance, operational flexibility, and clear regulatory guidance.

Designed for Institutional Business Workflows

A core feature of HashKey Pro is its omnibus account structure, engineered to support brokers, banks, and asset managers serving end clients. Under this model, investors open accounts directly with the financial institution, which maintains a consolidated omnibus account on HashKey Pro and executes trading and custody operations through the platform.

Beyond trading and custody, HashKey Pro also provides:

• Institutional-grade API solutions for trading and client management

• FIX protocol support (versions 4.4 and 5.0 SP2), including drop-copy functionality

• REST API and WebSocket integration for seamless system connectivity

• 7×24 dedicated client support

Compliant, Secure, and Scalable

HashKey Pro prioritizes security and risk management. The platform offers fully insured custody and holds dual ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications. It features comprehensive treasury management, including hot wallet security safeguarded by Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) compliant with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 standards.

HashKey Pro is operated by HashKey MENA FZE, which holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license issued by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), authorizing it to conduct exchange and broker-dealer services.

El-Baz added: “Trust in the underlying infrastructure is the fundamental prerequisite for institutional participation in digital asset markets. HashKey Pro is designed to deliver the security, operational rigor, and regulatory clarity that professional institutions require to meaningfully engage in digital asset markets.”

HashKey MENA stated that it will continue expanding HashKey Pro’s product capabilities and introduce additional financial products in the future.
