OSL Group Secures $300M Equity to Expand Global Crypto Infrastructure, Aligning with Hong Kong's Stablecoin Licensing Regime

Hong Kong-based OSL Group has raised $300 million in equity financing to accelerate its global expansion plans, as disclosed in a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange [1]. The funding, equivalent to approximately HK$2.355 billion, will be allocated to strategic acquisitions, the development of regulated payment infrastructure, and the integration of fiat currencies, stablecoins, and major cryptocurrencies. Ivan Wong, CFO of OSL Group, described the raise as a “major milestone,” emphasizing its role in expanding access points and strengthening payment systems under regulatory frameworks [2]. The timing aligns with Hong Kong’s upcoming stablecoin licensing regime, which will require issuers of fiat-referenced stablecoins to obtain licenses from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, effective August 1 [2].

The funding follows OSL’s recent acquisition spree to solidify its presence in Asia’s digital asset markets. In June 2025, the company acquired Indonesian crypto exchange operator Evergreen Crest for $15 million, and in February, it completed the purchase of Japan’s CoinBest, rebranding it as OSL Japan [2]. These moves underscore the firm’s strategy to scale through localized partnerships. Despite a 7.4% decline in OSL’s stock price as of July 13, according to Yahoo Finance data, the shares have surged 14% over the past month and 104% year-to-date [2].

The equity raise signals growing institutional confidence in Hong Kong’s evolving digital asset ecosystem, which has positioned itself as a regulatory testbed for crypto innovation. OSL’s focus on regulated infrastructure aligns with global efforts to integrate stablecoins into traditional financial systems, a trend gaining momentum as policymakers address stablecoin risks. However, the company’s expansion carries challenges, including regulatory shifts and market volatility. By prioritizing compliance and diversified growth strategies—spanning acquisitions, product development, and adherence to licensing requirements—OSL aims to navigate these risks while competing with global crypto infrastructure leaders.
