HydraX, a financial technology company headquartered in Singapore, has partnered with fiat-to-crypto exchange Coinhako and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with XSQ, one of Singapore’s largest cryptocurrency advisory and blockchain development companies.
The two key partnerships are part of its strategy to expand its user base and capabilities. The deal with Coinhako includes the integration of its wallets with HydraX’s trading platform, HydraX Trader. Users will be able to view prices, transact and monitor balances held with Coinhako on the platform.
HydraX will integrate customer onboarding, KYC and account opening processes of Coinhako, which gives HydraX a fiat-cryptocurrency gateway for regional retail traders, as well as a pool of approximately 200,000 potential users.
Yusho Liu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Coinhako, commented:
“Coinhako is delighted to have HydraX as a trusted partner and technology provider to offer our users an alternative platform for trading, transferring and transacting of multiple digital tokens – such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and many more – as well as the monitoring of portfolio balances with Coinhako. The integration of our KYC and onboarding process will give customers unparalleled ease of use and security.”
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with XSQ, regards the usage of HydraX’s technology in the form of Ethereum-based smart contracts designed for the trustless trading and settlement of digital assets.
Hong Zhuang Lim, CEO of XSQ, said: “Leveraging HydraX’s technology, XSQ will develop an electronic-wallet solution for cross-border value transmission, centered around a permissioned, blockchain-based smart-contract solution that will be institution-friendly, efficient, and secure.”

It what could be termed as a major development, if and when it happens, one of the largest stock brokers in Japan, Monex Inc, is seriously considering buying a stake in the large cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck. There has been no confirmation of the move as yet and most of it has only been speculation so far.
That has been hard to come by with regulators of many countries trying to crack down on the industry in a bid to silence the traders and the ideals that the industry stands for. It should also be noted that Coincheck was the exchange that had suffered a hack on its NEM wallets in January which it volunteered to reimburse to most of the traders in a move that was appreciated by many of the industry experts. It was also a move that highlighted the need for increased security in this industry especially in the exchanges where it was lax.
