HashKey officially launches DAT strategic initiative: building an institutional bridge connecting traditional finance and digital assets
By launching, investing in, and operating outstanding DAT projects globally, promoting standardized management of crypto assets and the prosperous development of the Web3 industry.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Asia's leading digital asset financial services group, HashKey Group (hereinafter "HashKey"), announces its comprehensive expansion into the DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) sector, planning to launch Asia’s largest multi-currency DAT ecosystem fund for global markets. By initiating, investing in, and operating outstanding DAT projects worldwide, HashKey aims to promote standardized management of crypto assets and drive the prosperity of the Web3 industry.
This fund is dedicated to a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy. Its uniqueness lies in being a long-term fund aligned with the long-term operational goals and liquidity needs of DATs, allowing regular subscriptions and redemptions. HashKey will initiate and invest in a portfolio of DAT projects focused on major cryptocurrencies to build a diversified investment portfolio. The initial focus will be on launching and participating in ETH and BTC ecosystem DAT projects, aiming to establish an institutional liquidity bridge connecting traditional financial capital with on-chain assets. The initial fundraising target exceeds $500 million.
DAT Fund Mechanism and Ecosystem Value
Through the new DAT model, HashKey not only provides institutional investors with compliant, efficient participation channels and potential investment returns but also leverages fund resources and industry expertise to reinvest in core public chains like Ethereum, accelerating commercialization of ecosystem projects. Beyond fund investments, HashKey will deeply engage in the operations of DAT companies and broader ecosystem development. This creates a positive flywheel loop—capital investment, ecosystem application, market value capture, and liquidity exit—and marks the first time in the market that DAT has been approached from an industrial investment and ecosystem development perspective.
Industry Background and DAT Opportunity
HashKey believes that DAT is not a short-term narrative trend, but a structurally significant, institutionally meaningful window of opportunity.
Against the backdrop of increasing integration between global traditional financial markets and digital assets, DAT is gradually becoming a core focus for capital markets. Compared to passive ETF products, DAT better aligns with the 24/7 high-volatility nature of crypto markets, serving as a next-generation asset vehicle built upon traditional finance price discovery mechanisms and on-chain asset structures. It is not only a new interface for traditional capital to understand the Web3 world but also a critical pathway for on-chain ecosystems to achieve compliance and globalization.
HashKey’s move into DAT is both a continuation of its business strategy and an ongoing effort to empower the industry.
As a leading Asian and globally expanding digital asset financial services group, HashKey has been deeply involved with Ethereum for a decade, consistently supporting ecosystem growth. Dr. Feng Xiao, Chairman of the group, is one of Ethereum’s early investors and a pioneer in advancing blockchain ecosystems in Asia.
After ten years of深耕, HashKey has become one of the earliest institutions to deeply penetrate the Web3 ecosystem. Its subsidiary HashKey Capital has invested in over 600 global blockchain and crypto companies, including more than 400 projects in the ETH ecosystem, and is also among the first Asian issuers of spot digital asset ETFs listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. HashKey Cloud, one of Asia’s largest node service providers, has long provided node services for Ethereum. HashKey Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 public chain, has reached $172.66 million in total on-chain assets within eight months of launch and established stable partnerships with multiple global financial institutions. HashKey’s annual HK Web3 Festival has grown into one of Asia’s largest industry summits, demonstrating strong community building and operational capabilities.
Regulatory Trends and Outlook
As global regulations become clearer, DAT is transitioning from a broad exploration phase to a stage of regulated selection. The Nasdaq’s strengthened scrutiny of corporate crypto investments on September 4, 2025, signals that the market is entering a deeper phase of “weeding out the weak and preserving the strong.”
HashKey remains committed to compliance as a foundation and trust as a core principle. Only institutions equipped with capabilities in asset identification, structural design, risk management, and ecosystem governance will gain an advantage in the next phase of DAT development.
Future Vision
Going further into the future, not faster. HashKey is not just launching a fund—it is building an institutional-grade bridge. From assets to standards, from Hong Kong to the globe, from capital entry points to ecosystem flows, HashKey will take the stance of a long-term player, actively participating in and driving the next stage of digital asset infrastructure evolution.
