OSL Launches Dedicated Digital Asset Prime Brokerage in the Americas
MEXICO CITY, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

OSL, Asia's leading digital asset platform and member of BC Technology Group 
(stock code 863 HK), announced today that it has officially launched its 
Americas unit in its latest expansion initiative to address the growing 
institutional and corporate demand for digital assets around the world.

Led by Head of Americas Fernando Martinez, the Americas unit facilitates OSL's 
market-leading prime brokerage offering, including electronic and OTC execution 
and coin borrowing and lending, into OSL's deep pools of digital asset 
liquidity. OSL Americas will also act as the regional hub for engagement with 
OSL's growing list of SaaS partners. Access to the OSL platform's industry 
leading institutional-grade digital asset exchange will follow in due course.

"OSL's combination of experienced traders, deep global relationships and 
advanced technology allow its prime brokerage to match large institutional 
blocks across major digital assets." said OSL CEO Wayne Trench. "The appetite 
for digital assets across the Americas is rapidly growing and the timing of our 
launch coincides nicely to meet this demand."

OSL's over-the-counter (OTC) and electronic RFQ/API offer access to 
unparalleled market liquidity with complete privacy, capital efficiency and 
guaranteed price quotes. Each trade is conducted and executed directly with the 
customer and with no on-exchange price slippage or order book discovery. This 
ensures instant, seamless, secure transactions with near instant settlement.

OSL Head of Americas Fernando Martinez added: "As a key contributor to this 
growing digital asset ecosystem across the Americas, we're extremely excited 
about the prospects for further development and business growth. In the near 
term, we're pleased by the increasing appetite we're seeing from clients who 
recognise the criticality of trading with a safe and reliable partner. OSL 
prides itself on being fully compliant with stringent know-your-customer, 
anti-money laundering and market surveillance standards - all attributes that 
our institutional customer base expects when selecting a digital asset partner"

The news comes after OSL and Standard Chartered announced a partnership to 
launch a digital asset brokerage and exchange joint-venture with an initial 
focus on the European and UK markets.

OSL has already established a strong track record in the Americas. Since the 
beginning of the quarter, the company has supported regional regulated 
investment managers to launch single and multi-asset exchange traded products, 
including leading digital asset ETFs, by providing market leading operations, 
through competitive pricing, efficient settlements and its robust integrated 
platform. 

Prior to the America's launch OSL introduced ETF expert Guilherme Cannavale 
Rebane as Head Institutional Sales and Business Development for Brazil and 
Sebastian Resano as Vice President, Institutional Sales for Latin America.
