How your money is protected
Hata is regulated in Malaysia, and the financial institutions directory lists Labuan Financial Services Authority and Securities Commission Malaysia for the firm. A named supervisor means the company has to meet capital, conduct and reporting rules set by an outside authority, and the directory entry lets you check its standing for yourself rather than take a claim on trust. Oversight runs through those regulators, so there is a body to complain to if something goes wrong.
The company behind it
Hata runs as Hata Capital Limited, registered in Malaysia and founded in 2023, so the operation is young and the track record is short. Support runs on email, help centre and community, which means questions go by email, through the help centre or in the community rather than by phone. For a firm of this size, the help centre is the first place to read, and email is the main route to an answer.

Frequently asked questions
Is my money safe on Hata?+
Hata is regulated in Malaysia, and the directory lists Labuan Financial Services Authority and Securities Commission Malaysia for the firm, so it answers to named supervisors rather than operating unsupervised. Accounts are custodial, so the exchange holds the coins for you instead of you holding the keys yourself.
How do I deposit money?+
Fiat deposits run through bank only, so bank transfer suits people who already move money that way. The money lands with Hata Capital Limited, a Malaysian entity, which puts a named firm on the other side of the transfer. If you normally top up in other ways, this is not the setup you are used to.
What does it cost to withdraw?+
USD bank transfer and SWIFT withdrawals charged by Hata cost 0 for USD bank transfer/SWIFT withdrawals charged by Hata, so taking money out by bank adds no platform withdrawal charge. That figure covers the platform side only, and a bank route means waiting for the transfer to clear.
Can I earn on coins I already hold?+
Staking is among the listed features, custodial and staking, and it covers SOL and ATOM. The terms are Fixed lock-in of 14, 30, 60 or 90 days, so your coins are committed for a set stretch rather than free to sell whenever you like. Pick a term you can sit out to its fixed end date.
How many coins can I trade?+
Hata lists 23 coins, which places it 131 of 172 brands on coin count, so it sits at the short end of the exchanges compared here. It works if you hold a few majors. A long altcoin tail is what you want elsewhere.
How do I get help from support?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community, so there is no phone line and an urgent withdrawal question goes by email or through the community. The help centre is the place to read first, since it covers the routine questions people ask most often.
