PETALING JAYA: Hata.io, a dual-licensed digital asset exchange (DAX) in Malaysia, has recorded a total of RM1.04 billion in transactions processed in 2025, marking a notable achievement in the company’s growth trajectory.
This strong transaction performance was supported by sustained deposit activity throughout the year. Monthly fiat deposit volumes consistently reached RM16.1 million, scaling to a peak of RM28.7 million. Crypto deposit activity remained robust, with the platform receiving a monthly average of 2.65 million in crypto unit deposits.
On total assets under custody (AUC), Hata achieved another significant milestone by reaching its highest accumulated AUC of RM115 million by September 2025 across Hata Malaysia and Hata Global platforms. Importantly, despite short-term fluctuations and market volatility, investors continue to choose Hata as their platform of choice for trading, positioning themselves ahead of the next growth cycle. For information purposes, the top four tokens traded on Hata in 2025 were XRP, BTC, ETH and SOL.
This sustained confidence is also reflected directly in Hata’s expanding and highly engaged user base. Since its launch through the end of 2025, Hata has attracted over 209,000 users, becoming Malaysia’s fastest-growing homegrown DAX.
Millennials and Generation Z account for 83% of the overall user base, signalling to a shifting generational mindset towards younger demographics that are increasingly more financially- and technologically-engaged.
“Crossing RM1.04 billion in total transactions processed and welcoming over 209,000 users across our Hata Malaysia and Hata Global platforms in 2025 reflects one thing – trust. We remain committed to serving our users in Malaysia and across the region by continuing to offer the cheapest fees for digital asset trading, and we look forward to working with the government and all industry partners to continue promoting the growth and development of the digital asset landscape” said co-founder and CEO David Low.
“Looking ahead, we believe the next phase of digital asset growth will be shaped by stronger confidence, greater accessibility and continued infrastructure maturity. As the market evolves, opportunities will expand as participation becomes more diverse and capital flows more efficiently across the region. While we’re proud to achieve this significant milestone, our focus is to continue strengthening our platform capabilities and deepening market access, while building a more inclusive digital asset ecosystem.”
Co-founder and chief strategy officer Darien Ng said, “Hata’s growth proves that world-class fintech innovation can be built right here in Malaysia. With the right vision, regulatory support from the SC (Securities Commission Malaysia), and local talent, Hata is a testament to the country’s capabilities in building a homegrown, global business that can compete confidently against international players.”
