OSL HK Offers XRP Trading to Retail Investors in Hong Kong

OSL HK has become the first SFC-licensed exchange in Hong Kong to offer XRP trading to retail investors. The move allows eligible retail users to buy and sell XRP directly through OSL's platform, removing a previous restriction that limited the token to professional investors.

The expansion marks another milestone in Hong Kong's regulated crypto market, where licensed exchanges have gradually expanded investor access to major cryptocurrencies under the city's virtual asset framework. Retail investors can now trade XRP through Flash Trade (XRP/USD) and OTC pairs in XRP/USD and XRP/HKD.

At the time of the announcement, XRP was trading at $1.0676, down 0.02% over the past 24 hours. Despite a largely flat trading session, the token climbed steadily before reversing course due to selling pressure.
