Overview
- OSL Group launched retail XRP trading on July 29, 2026, making its SFC‑licensed OSL HK platform the first in the city to let non‑professional investors buy and sell XRP.
- The platform offers a Flash Trade XRP/USD product plus over‑the‑counter XRP/USD and XRP/HKD pairs, with deposits and withdrawals supported directly on the XRP Ledger.
- OSL first opened XRP to professional investors in December 2025 and removed the professional‑only restriction for retail users with this July 29 rollout.
- The move gives OSL a near‑term competitive edge over peers such as HashKey, which still limits XRP to professional clients, by providing a regulated HKD on‑ramp for local users.
- Hong Kong’s decision to allow retail XRP trading under SFC supervision contrasts with past U.S. uncertainty and could boost regional on‑ramps, custody flows, and broader retail participation in the token.
