The main event of the 9th Hong Kong FinTech Week concluded yesterday, with HashKey Group appearing as a sponsor for the third consecutive year and becoming one of the core and most attractive exhibitors at this Web3 venue. By showcasing its full industry layout in trading, payments, asset management, tokenization, infrastructure, and on-chain ecosystems, HashKey once again demonstrated its leading position and forward-looking strategic vision in Hong Kong's Web3 industry.
During the FinTech Week, Livio Weng, Chief Operating Officer of HashKey Group and CEO of HashKey Exchange, stated in his keynote speech: "Hong Kong's Web3 has accelerated the completion of its first phase of infrastructure and has entered the second phase of full ecosystem development, shifting from single-point breakthroughs to a full ecosystem layout." He emphasized: "A new institutional era has arrived. As a major provider of trading and custody services in the market, HashKey Exchange's institutional product portfolio will fundamentally change the development process of virtual currency businesses in Hong Kong."
Notably, HashKey Exchange has also announced a partnership with Yuan Coin Technology, and will soon launch the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin HKDR for professional investors, jointly promoting more efficient and compliant cross-border payments.
Vivien Wong, Partner of HashKey Capital's Secondary Fund, pointed out during a panel discussion on Hong Kong cryptocurrency ETFs: "We hope HashKey can become a one-stop virtual asset management platform and are currently in communication with regulators, looking forward to launching innovative products that can be purchased through the new capital investment immigration program." Anna Liu, General Manager of HashKey Tokenisation, Zhang Dayong, Chief Business Officer of HashKey Group, and Zheng Jialiang, Partner of HashKey Capital's Secondary Fund and Research, were also invited to participate in the closed-door roundtable forum of Project Ensemble to discuss the applications of tokenized assets in cross-border trade, green sustainable finance, and other hot topics.
In addition, HashKey Group's public chain HashKey Chain exclusively sponsored the Web3x3 basketball competition, a first at this year's Hong Kong FinTech Week, merging sports events with Web3 and encouraging more people to participate in the Web3 ecosystem collaboration. HashKey Chain plans to focus on tracks such as BTCFi, Payfi, Stablecoin, RWA, and DePIN to build a financial infrastructure that connects Web2 and Web3 and a full-stack Web3 solution, with public testing set to begin in the fourth quarter and expectations for mainnet launch within the year.
With the establishment of a crypto financial market system based on crypto accounts and tokens, and the updating of the traditional financial market system based on bank accounts, HashKey Group has keenly sensed the opportunity. Utilizing blockchain technology, it has established a verification service covering over 80 mainstream public chains in the infrastructure field, with an asset management scale of 1.2 million (calculated based on Ethereum) under the infrastructure provider HashKey Cloud; in the trading field, it owns the leading licensed virtual asset exchanges HashKey Exchange and HashKey Global in Hong Kong and globally; in the primary market, it focuses on tokenizing quality assets, creating liquidity for Web2 and Web3 projects at all stages under HashKey Tokenisation; and in the investment field, it has a highly influential global asset management institution, HashKey Capital. Its Web3 native business has also rapidly developed this year, with the HashKey ecosystem platform token HSK collaborating with over 60 top communities, distributing airdrops to 7.2 million active quality community users in the first phase. The official airdrop channel, the Tap-to-Earn mini-game 'Big Golden Dog,' has reached 7.5 million game users since its launch. HashKey has formed a strong business matrix, jointly promoting the integration of both 'on-chain' and 'off-chain' markets.
In 2024, Web3 has entered the '1995 moment' of the internet. In the next decade, HashKey will work with ecosystem partners to enable explosive growth in Web3 through a more open crypto financial infrastructure, creating a golden era for Hong Kong's Web3.
