TechFlow news, on November 3, HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao said during the "Rethinking Treasury Strategies with Digital Assets" panel at Hong Kong FinTech Week that with increasingly mature regulatory frameworks and professional infrastructure, the time is now ripe for institutional entry into the crypto market.
Deng noted that since 2018, HashKey has managed multiple institutional-grade funds, witnessing the industry's full evolution from early exploration to institutionalization. Today, with continuously improving regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong and Singapore, compliance and professionalism are becoming new turning points in blockchain finance.
He further stated that HashKey, adopting a "global operations, local compliance" model, is expanding from Hong Kong into Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, striving to build a global institutionalized digital asset ecosystem. In his view, the key trend in the next phase will be the deep integration of real-world assets (RWA) and digital asset treasuries (DAT).
"The internet carries information, while blockchain carries value," Deng concluded. "Anything that holds value should ultimately be tokenized."
