Data Empowerment for Compliant Trading: HashKey Exchange and RootData Reach Deep Cooperation

Recently, Hong Kong's leading licensed virtual asset trading platform [HashKey Exchange](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/HashKey Exchange?k=ODgzMA== "Licensed Virtual Asset Exchange") has reached a deep cooperation with RootData, a leading data platform in the crypto industry. Currently, HashKey's Hong Kong site has completed the integration of the RootData API, allowing users to directly view key information provided by RootData, such as project introductions, official websites and social media links, financing history and amounts, on the currency detail page. It is reported that other sites of HashKey Exchange will also gradually complete the integration.

Strong Alliance: Ecological Integration of Compliant Exchanges and Data Platforms

HashKey Exchange holds the Type 1 (Securities Trading) and Type 7 (Providing Automated Trading Services) licenses approved by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), as well as a virtual asset trading platform license regulated by the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance. As one of the first licensed exchanges in Hong Kong open to retail investors, HashKey Exchange has established industry-leading standards in compliance architecture, user fund protection, and platform system security.

RootData is one of the most credible and influential data platforms in the crypto industry. Since its establishment in 2022, RootData has been committed to industry transparency and data standardization. To date, RootData has accumulated nearly 20,000 crypto projects, over 20,000 industry figures, and tens of thousands of investment and financing data. Its API has partnered with over 200 companies, covering various application scenarios including exchanges, wallets, security audit companies, institutions, data information platforms, AI products, and media.

Integration Implementation: Making Project Information Accessible

The core of this cooperation is the comprehensive integration of the RootData API into the HashKey Exchange platform. Users can now view detailed project introductions, financing records, team members, calendar events, and other multidimensional data in one place on the currency detail page of HashKey Exchange.

This integration enhances the user experience of HashKey Exchange. In traditional cryptocurrency trading, users often need to switch between multiple platforms—checking prices and trading pairs on exchanges, then going to third-party data platforms to query project backgrounds, team information, financing history, and more. The dispersion of information, difficulty in discerning authenticity, and lag in updates have always been pain points for investors. RootData ensures the accuracy and timeliness of data through long-term tracking of tens of thousands of LinkedIn and Twitter data, relying on user submissions and AI agents for collection and organization, along with manual verification. Now, users of HashKey Exchange can conduct in-depth research on projects within the same interface for trading decisions, significantly reducing information barriers.

What is even more noteworthy is that the value of this integration is bidirectional. For RootData, accessing HashKey Exchange means that the project information it collects can reach a broader audience of professional investors and retail clients. After project parties claim and maintain their project information through RootData's "Project Information Management System," their data can be synchronized via RootData's API network to over 200 partners, including HashKey Exchange. "Exchanging disclosure for trust"—transparency is shifting from a cost for projects to a core asset for long-termists.

Data Transparency is the Cornerstone of Compliance

At a critical time when the Web3 industry is transitioning from "wild growth" to "compliant development," the transparency and accessibility of information are becoming important components of industry infrastructure. As a leader in the compliant track in Hong Kong, HashKey Exchange, through deep cooperation with RootData, directly embeds high-quality project data into trading scenarios, essentially making "information symmetry" one of the core competitive advantages of a compliant trading platform.

For investors, this means more informed decisions—being able to understand project information more clearly and accurately when investing. For project parties, this means fairer exposure opportunities—the more complete and transparent the information, the easier it is to be seen by mainstream trading platforms and investors. For the industry, this means a healthier ecosystem—when data becomes public infrastructure, the gap of information asymmetry will gradually be filled.

Currently, RootData API partners include many core industry participants such as Binance, OKX Wallet, Gate, TokenPocket, Ethereum Foundation, CertiK, Blockworks, and Amber Group. The addition and deep integration of HashKey Exchange further solidify RootData's position as the "information hub" of the industry. As the cooperation gradually expands to other global sites of HashKey Exchange, this ecological synergy will be more widely released.

It is foreseeable that in the wave of compliance and transparency in the industry, the deep collaboration between exchanges and data platforms will become the standard.
