SoFi Taps OSL for Hong Kong Crypto Debut on February 11
SoFi Securities (Hong Kong) Limited announced a strategic partnership with digital asset platform OSL Group (00863.HK) on February 11, 2026, to launch cryptocurrency trading services for Hong Kong investors. The initiative marks a significant milestone for SoFi, representing the first global expansion of its digital asset business beyond its U.S. base. Effective immediately, SoFi members in Hong Kong can trade a range of digital assets directly through the SoFi Hong Kong mobile application.
OSL's Omnibus Pro Underpins New Trading Service
The service's infrastructure is powered by OSL's Omnibus Pro solution, a platform specifically designed for banks and brokerage firms. Through this integration, SoFi Hong Kong outsources key operational functions—including trade execution, asset custody, and wallet management—to OSL and its licensed subsidiary, OSL Digital Securities Limited. This structure allows SoFi to offer a streamlined retail trading experience while ensuring client assets are protected by security standards comparable to those of regulated financial institutions.
Partnership Signals Rising Competition in Asian Digital Assets
The collaboration between SoFi and OSL underscores a broader trend of mainstream financial technology firms entering Asia's regulated crypto landscape. By leveraging OSL's established and licensed infrastructure, SoFi gains an immediate and compliant entry into the competitive Hong Kong market. This move is expected to intensify competition among retail-focused trading platforms in the city and may serve as a catalyst for further adoption of regulated digital asset services by traditional financial players in the region.
