PANews reported on January 15 that at the HashKey Group 2025 Outlook Conference held today, HashKey Group Chief Risk and Compliance Officer Ru Haiyang announced that in 2025, HashKey Exchange will comprehensively promote the development of the virtual asset industry around four core directions. First, in addition to the original institutional clients such as securities firms, banks, and asset management, more and more listed companies, enterprises, and payment institutions are entering the virtual asset field. HashKey Exchange will provide customized solutions to ensure that their transactions and custody behaviors are carried out within a compliant and legal framework, thereby further promoting industry standardization.
Ru Haiyang mentioned that in terms of product innovation, HashKey Exchange plans to expand more products based on spot trading, including financial products and tokenized assets. At the end of 2024, HashKey Exchange, as a distributor, assisted Cinda Asset Management in arranging the STBL project, which was the first case of a Hong Kong financial institution arranging the issuance of transferable tokenized packaged restructuring notes. In the first half of 2025, HashKey Exchange will also explore innovative services such as pledges. At the same time, in order to meet the investment strategy needs of institutional clients, HashKey Exchange will also discuss with regulators the launch of contracts and leveraged derivatives to further enrich market choices.
In terms of business sustainability, HashKey Exchange will work with regulators to reduce the operating costs of compliant exchanges, optimize operational efficiency, and ensure the security protection of customer assets.
At the same time, HashKey Exchange will also actively promote the construction of a virtual asset ecosystem. As a legal currency portal, it will help Hong Kong become a global virtual asset hub by connecting traditional finance and the virtual asset field. With the upcoming launch of Hong Kong's stablecoin and the gradual clarification of the regulatory framework for virtual asset over-the-counter transactions (VAOTC), more and more institutional companies are joining the ecosystem to jointly promote the prosperity of the industry. As a core link, HashKey Exchange will continue to play a bridging role and contribute value to the development of the industry.
