Family Offices Back Digital Asset Exchange Hata in USD8m Funding Round

Digital asset exchange funding is gaining momentum as Malaysia-based Hata secured USD8m in a Series A round led by Bybit and supported by several global family offices.

The funding follows Bybit’s participation in Hata’s USD4.2m seed round and strengthens their strategic partnership.

Hata said proceeds will be used to improve platform liquidity, expand its user base and develop digital asset products.

The firm reported RM1.04bn (USD263m) in transaction volume in 2025 and more than 209,000 users since its launch in May 2023.

The digital asset exchange funding highlights rising family office interest in crypto and blockchain markets.
