The company said in its July 29 listing notice:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to announce that OSL HK will be the first exchange in Hong Kong to support XRP (XRP) trading to retail investors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trading opened July 29 through Flash Trade, OSL\u2019s instant retail trading feature, and over-the-counter (OTC) services. Retail investors can trade XRP using the XRP\/USD pair through Flash Trade or the XRP\/USD and XRP\/HKD pairs through OTC. XRP deposits and withdrawals are supported through the XRP Ledger, according to OSL.<\/p>\n<p>Professional investors continue to have access to additional trading pairs, including XRP\/USDT through Flash Trade and XRP\/BTC through OTC services.<\/p>\n<h2>Regulated Access Expands in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<p>The listing gives Hong Kong investors another way to access XRP through a regulated local platform rather than relying on offshore exchanges.

Licensed operators must also conduct customer checks, manage conflicts of interest and maintain controls intended to reduce the risk of fraud, market manipulation and the misuse of client assets.
