Binance made a sizable investment into regulated exchange HGX last week. This investment made our own application somewhat redundant.

What's more, HGX is run on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/binance-asia-services-takes-strategic-stake-in-singapore-based-hg-exchange-301439741.html\">Zilliqa blockchain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the acquisition, Richard Teng, Binance Singapore CEO, and former HGX CEO said the collaboration would enhance products and services for all concerned.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Crypto and traditional financial offerings continue to converge. Through this investment, we seek to work with HGX in enhancing offerings of products and services supported by blockchain technology.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since Q4 2020, the Zilliqa ecosystem includes the Singapore dollar stablecoin XSGD.
