Huobi Tech is introducing crypto lending for institutional investors in Hong Kong, according to a company press release shared with CoinDesk.
- The loans will range from $10,000 to $100 million in USDT and other currencies, and will carry an 8.8% fixed-term annual percentage rate, a company representative told CoinDesk via email.
- The Hong Kong-listed company is affiliated with crypto exchange Huobi Global through a common co-founder, Leon Li, but is a separate legal entity.

- Exchanges licensed by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission can provide services only to professional investors, meaning those with over HK$8 million ($1 million) in their portfolio.
