SignalPlus has raised $40 million in strategic funding. This capital injection aims to expand the company’s institutional-grade cryptocurrency options trading tools and drive global commercial expansion.
HashKey Capital, the asset management arm of HashKey Holdings Limited, drove the funding round, with HashKey Group contributing $20 million directly. This funding establishes a long-term strategic partnership, escalating HashKey Capital’s role from lead seed investor and Series A and B participant.
Empowering the Complex World of Crypto Options
Founded in 2021, SignalPlus was built to democratise and elevate infrastructure powering crypto options trading. While spot trading has achieved massive scale, digital asset derivatives and options markets have historically lacked robust, low-latency infrastructure.
SignalPlus addresses this gap by operating an enterprise-grade dashboard that acts as an all-in-one terminal for professional and sophisticated traders. The platform provides institutional-grade pricing engines, advanced analytics, real-time risk management systems, and smart automated order execution.

Crucially, the platform features advanced technical modules like automated option market-making software and dynamic delta hedging tools. These protocols enable institutional fund managers to protect volatile cryptocurrency portfolios against sharp market fluctuations through automated mathematical adjustments, running calculations that mimic traditional investment bank-grade execution.
“Currently, global institutional capital is accelerating its convergence into crypto derivatives,” said Dr Xiao Feng, Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group, in a statement regarding the deal. “The market’s demand for compliant, robust, and highly professional institutional-grade infrastructure is becoming increasingly apparent. In the future, HashKey and SignalPlus will jointly promote product innovation and global business expansion.”

Driving Liquidity and Global Connectivity
From its headquarters in Hong Kong, SignalPlus has secured an unwavering market share across Asia. The platform’s proprietary software is deeply integrated into the liquidity pools of major mainstream global crypto options exchanges, establishing it as a primary interface for high-net-worth individuals, crypto-native hedge funds, and market makers across the region.
The newly acquired $40 million will be deployed across several core strategic pillars:
- Global Business Expansion: Moving aggressively beyond its stronghold in Asia to service institutional trading desks and family offices across Europe and the Middle East.
- Product Innovation: Co-developing next-generation structured product solutions and expanding the capabilities of their automated trading tech.
- Connectivity Upgrades: Expanding multi-exchange connectivity to bring fractured global liquidity into a single, unified, latency-optimised trading dashboard.
The timing of the investment highlights a broader industry shift toward enterprise compliance and specialised architecture. As financial entities enter digital currency following regulatory clearings globally, demand for institutional software over consumer retail apps has soared. Backed by HashKey Group, SignalPlus is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between TradFi standards and the cryptocurrency derivatives ecosystem.
