HashKey Group (hereinafter referred to as "HashKey"), a leading digital asset financial services group in Asia, announced the completion of a strategic investment in the financial technology company Asseto Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Asseto"). This cooperation marks that the two parties will carry out in-depth collaboration in the field of RWA (real world asset) tokenization, jointly build an efficient and scalable on-chain asset infrastructure, promote the development of the stablecoin ecosystem, and promote the combination of traditional finance and decentralized economy to jointly promote the implementation and scale development of digital asset infrastructure.
This cooperation is not only a strategic investment, but also an all-round cooperation between Asseto and HashKey in the field of RWA. The two parties will rely on their respective advantageous resources to build an efficient and scalable on-chain asset platform, build a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), and promote industry compliance, standardization and institutionalization.
A highlight of this cooperation is that Asseto's institutional-level RWA issuance capabilities will be deeply integrated with HashKey Chain, a high-performance Layer 2 blockchain network platform independently developed by HashKey. The two parties will jointly develop end-to-end technical solutions to support the on-chain issuance, settlement and circulation of multiple types of financial assets including cash management, funds, bonds, etc., to ensure the efficient circulation and traceability of assets between "off-chain and on-chain". Asseto will give priority to its high-quality RWA products for native deployment in the HashKey Chain ecosystem. In the future, users are expected to access multiple on-chain assets conveniently and efficiently through channels such as trading platforms provided by HashKey.
In this strategic cooperation, HashKey Chain not only participated in the construction as the underlying infrastructure, but also assumed the role of technical traction and ecological coordination for the entire process of RWA asset on-chain. As a high-performance Layer 2 network built specifically for financial-grade assets, HashKey Chain provides Asseto with a comprehensive standardized solution in multiple key links such as smart contract standards and modular deployment. On-chain issuance requires high-standard channels, as well as systems and protocol layers that can carry complex asset structures. HashKey Chain is the key builder of this role.
At the same time, HashKey Chain will also serve as one of the main deployment chains for Asseto's multi-RWA products, assisting the project to quickly enter the vast market of on-chain financial networks through support systems such as ecological incentives, liquidity support, and developer resources. The advancement of this cooperation not only demonstrates the strong adaptability of HashKey Chain in the real-world asset landing scenario, but also further establishes its system position in the construction of financial-grade RWA infrastructure standards.
The cooperation also extends to the fields of education and industry-university-research. On June 30, 2025, Asseto and HashKey became the first companies to sign a strategic cooperation memorandum (MOU) with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). They will promote academic research, talent training and industry ecosystem development around blockchain finance, RWA standard setting, digital asset supervision, and other directions, and jointly help Hong Kong build a world-leading digital financial innovation center.
In the future, Asseto and HashKey will continue to deepen cooperation in multiple dimensions such as industry standard construction and cross-border pilots, promote the healthy development of the global RWA market, accelerate the compliance implementation of new assets such as stablecoins, tokenized funds, and on-chain bonds, and assist in the comprehensive transformation of traditional financial assets to the Web3 architecture.
This strategic investment is not only a high recognition of Asseto's technical strength, product capabilities and market vision by HashKey, but also lays a solid foundation for both parties to build Asia's leading RWA tokenization ecosystem. Through the joint construction of technical foundation, exchange, custody, research and regulatory interaction mechanism, the two parties will jointly promote the standardization and scale of RWA infrastructure, and further release the long-term potential of on-chain finance.
