Huobi Tech will continue to diversify its businesses in the future, with Huobi Brokerage as one of our key business sectors in tapping into digital asset financial services. We believe Huobi Brokerage business would grow with Huobi Tech’s other virtual asset services for synergic development," says Simon Wu, CEO and Executive Director of Huobi Tech.
