Singapore, April 21, 2026 – HashKey Cloud, a leading global institutional-grade digital asset staking infrastructure, announced its official membership in the XDC Network as an institutional-grade Masternode Validator, directly participating in the operation of the blockchain network's core transaction infrastructure. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for HashKey Cloud in the enterprise-grade blockchain space for trade finance and RWA tokenization.
As a master node validator, HashKey Cloud will undertake core functions such as transaction verification, ledger maintenance, and network governance on the XDC Network. The XDC Network is a blockchain specifically designed for trade finance, cross-border payments, and the tokenization of real-world assets. HashKey thus joins the core node system composed of institutional-level operators, jointly building the infrastructure foundation of the XDC Network.
Shanlong Chen, Head of XDC Network Asia , stated: “This collaboration is a significant achievement resulting from our long-term efforts to promote deep institutional participation in the network’s development. Each institution joining as a validator node further solidifies XDC’s position as a trusted network for financial institutions and governments, which is reflected not only in the technical aspects but also in the institutional governance. HashKey Cloud’s deep involvement at the infrastructure level means injecting compliance standards, governance responsibilities, and institutional credibility into the network operations. This is a core value that anonymous nodes cannot replace and is the foundation of XDC Network.”
Leo Li, CEO of HashKey's On-Chain Business Group, stated: "For HashKey Cloud, choosing a blockchain infrastructure is a decision that must be made with great care. XDC Network's deep expertise in trade finance and asset tokenization made it our obvious choice. Asia is at the forefront of institutional-grade blockchain applications, and as financial institutions and governments in the region gradually shift to blockchain-based settlement and tokenization, we see this collaboration as an important starting point for deepening our ecosystem engagement."
This collaboration is part of XDC Network's strategic plan to continuously bring in digital asset companies to participate in infrastructure construction, and more validator node partners are expected to be announced in the coming months.
