Why do I need to deposit the specified amount

To comply with the guidelines set forth by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for virtual asset trading platforms, HashKey Exchange is required to verify the ownership of the client’s wallet, which refers to “address whitelisting”.

To prove your wallet ownership, you can complete it by simply transferring the virtual asset of a random small amount specified by the system from your personal wallet address you wish to whitelist.

To ensure a smooth customer experience in whitelisting operation, when you try to deposit a virtual asset from a new address that has not been whitelisted, you can whitelist the address by depositing an amount combining the specified amount.

After you complete the deposit according to the specified amount, your wallet address will be automatically whitelisted and added to the whitelist management, and the deposit amount will be credited to your account in HashKey Exchange.

In addition, we provide a "message signing" method to verify your wallet ownership.
