TechFlow news, on October 27, at the Reuters NEXT Gulf 2025 summit, HashKey Exchange CEO Ru Haiyang stated that cross-jurisdictional regulatory collaboration and the integration of AI with crypto will become key drivers for global digital finance development.
He noted that HashKey holds licenses in six locations including Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, and Tokyo, making it the only digital asset group in Asia fully compliant across major onshore financial centers.
"Regulators in the Middle East are open and welcoming, actively exploring stablecoins and tokenized securities, and we are working with regulators in multiple regions to establish coordination mechanisms," he added. HashKey is building a cross-border payment and investment network connecting Southeast Asia and the Gulf region to support regional capital and fund flows.
Regarding talent ecosystems, Ru Haiyang pointed out: "Dubai has become one of the cities with the highest concentration of crypto talent globally."
