BC Technology Group, a digital asset and fintech company as well as the parent company of OSL, secured an investment of US$ 70 million (HKD 543.19 million) from GIC, a Singaporean sovereign wealth fund.
The company intends to develop and enhance the platform technology of its digital asset business and has earmarked approximately HK$100 million as reserves for future expansion in markets including UK, Singapore and America.
