• According to CoinGecko, OSL Exchange, the exchange business of OSL Group, has become Hong Kong's largest digital asset trading platform by both spot trading volume and stablecoin trading volume
• This achievement builds on OSL's stablecoin strategy upgrade over the past 18 months: sustained investment in stablecoin infrastructure is systematically feeding back into the trading platform, driving comprehensive gains in liquidity depth, fee competitiveness, and compliant fund channels
• OSL Group is now the world's largest stablecoin payment infrastructure company by B2B stablecoin payment transaction volume

HONG KONG, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OSL Group (HKEX:863) ("OSL"), a global stablecoin payment and trading platform, today announced that its exchange business, OSL Exchange, has become Hong Kong's largest digital asset trading platform by both spot trading volume and stablecoin trading volume.

OSL Exchange ranked 8th globally on the top exchange ranking list as of 4 September 2026, the highest ranking and largest trading volume among Hong Kong-based digital asset trading platforms, according to the leading digital asset data analytics platform CoinGecko*. OSL Exchange also ranks first in stablecoin trading volume among all digital asset trading platforms in Hong Kong.

Stablecoin Strategy Feeds Back Into the Trading Platform, Infrastructure Upgrades Drive Liquidity Gains

OSL Exchange is the flagship brand of OSL's exchange business. Since the Group's strategic pivot toward stablecoins in 2025, OSL's sustained investment in its stablecoin payment has been systematically strengthening the trading platform's underlying capabilities. This is the key factor behind OSL Exchange's rise to the top of the Hong Kong market.

On one hand, the build-out of stablecoin infrastructure has driven a comprehensive upgrade of OSL's trade matching, clearing, and settlement systems, delivering deeper liquidity pools, stronger matching capabilities, and more efficient channels for moving funds in and out. On the other hand, as the brand operator and distributor of USDGO, OSL channels real trading demand and liquidity into the trading platform through USDGO and its B2B payment network. This has created a virtuous cycle between infrastructure upgrades and liquidity gains, allowing OSL Exchange to deliver a more competitive trading experience to different types of clients within a compliant framework.

For institutional clients such as brokerages and asset managers, this means better market depth, lower slippage, a more seamless trading experience, and an industry-leading fee structure. In August 2026, OSL HK, OSL's Hong Kong-licensed digital asset exchange, had become the only licensed platform in Hong Kong to offer zero maker and taker fees on spot trading across all stablecoin-to-stablecoin and stablecoin-to-fiat trading pairs for professional investors and institutional clients. In large-volume, high-frequency institutional trading scenarios, the combined advantage of zero fees and deep liquidity is particularly compelling, and has encouraged a growing number of institutional clients to connect to OSL Exchange through the omnibus model.

For individual investors, OSL's continuously strengthened compliant deposit and withdrawal channels have made moving between fiat currency and digital assets smoother and less costly, another pillar behind the sustained growth in OSL Exchange's trading volume.

World-Leading Stablecoin Infrastructure Fuels Sustained Momentum for the Trading Platform

Behind the exchange's leap in liquidity and trading volume lies OSL's broader push into stablecoins. According to global business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, in 2025, OSL became the world's largest stablecoin payment infrastructure company by B2B stablecoin payment volume, with US$12.3 billion in B2B stablecoin payment volume for the full year**.

In February 2026, OSL launched USDGO, its institutional-grade US dollar stablecoin. Within six months of launch, its circulating supply had surpassed US$1.2 billion, making it the sixth-largest compliant stablecoin globally by circulating supply***. USDGO has not only contributed significant trading volume and liquidity to OSL's trading platform, but has also further closed the loop across OSL's full stablecoin value chain, from distribution and payments to trading.

Terence Pu, Senior Vice President and Head of Hong Kong Business of OSL Group, said,

"OSL Exchange’s emergence as Hong Kong’s largest digital asset trading platform, together with its rise to the top position in both spot and stablecoin trading volumes, is the result of OSL's long-term investment in building compliant trading capabilities. It has also become one of the key foundations underpinning the Group's stablecoin strategy upgrade. It is precisely this compliance infrastructure and trading capability that enable us to provide the substantial liquidity support the market requires in a timely manner. We will continue to invest in building the next generation of digital asset financial infrastructure, with the aim of meeting the growing and pressing needs of clients across a range of sectors, including traditional finance, trade settlement, and investment allocation."
