Cryptocurrency Trading and Staking: What You Need to Know
The world of cryptocurrency has been rapidly evolving over the past decade, with a wide range of digital assets now available for trading. Cryptocurrency exchanges enable users to buy, sell, and trade these digital assets, providing a platform for users to access the most current prices and market trends.[0] In order to ensure the safety of users’ assets, it is important to choose a platform that offers advanced security measures, low fees, and reliable 24/7 operation.
Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR) recently announced the launch of cryptocurrency trading in Hong Kong in collaboration with OSL Digital Securities, the world’s first Type 1 and 7 Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)-licensed digital asset brokerage and trading platform for professional investors.[0] Eligible clients in Hong Kong now have access to low commissions of just 0.20% – 0.30% of trade value, depending on monthly volume, with a USD 2.25 minimum per order and no added spreads or markups.

The Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities recently joined 53 other jurisdictions and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a $45 million settlement with Nexo Capital Inc. (Nexo).[3] Established in 2018, Nexo is a Cayman Islands corporation that offers a range of financial services related to virtual currency to customers in the United States, including trading, borrowing, and lending.[3] As part of the settlement, Nexo must notify all its remaining U.S. investors to remove their virtual assets from Nexo’s platform by April 1, 2023.[3] Nexo has agreed to pay $22.5 million to settle SEC charges and an additional $22.5 million to resolve similar charges by state regulatory authorities.[3]
