TechFlow News: HashKey Cloud, a globally leading institutional-grade digital asset staking infrastructure provider, has provided underlying dedicated node operation support for the first ETH Staking service recently launched by HashKey Exchange—the Hong Kong-licensed digital asset trading platform. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for Hong Kong in compliant digital asset innovation and offers traditional financial institutions—including banks and securities firms—as well as investors, a professional and secure channel to participate in Ethereum staking.
Technically, HashKey Cloud adopts the “Dedicated Node” model: for each staking application meeting the 32 ETH threshold, HashKey Cloud deploys a dedicated validator node, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between staked assets and network rewards. This architecture prevents commingling of funds at the infrastructure level, thereby enhancing asset segregation and transparency to meet the risk control requirements of traditional institutions and high-net-worth clients. Additionally, HashKey Cloud has partnered with OneInfinity—part of digital asset insurance provider Onedegree—to offer complementary insurance solutions to its clients.
Shen Jun, Head of Business at HashKey Cloud, stated that this collaboration validates HashKey Cloud’s capability not only to serve institutional clients but also to provide mid-office technical empowerment to licensed trading platforms and financial institutions: “Today, traditional financial institutions can participate in Ethereum network validation through regulated channels.”
According to the announcement, HashKey Cloud is currently the only service provider in Hong Kong supporting Ethereum ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) staking, and the first provider globally supporting ETH DAT staking for Japanese-listed companies.
