HashKey Group Secures Nearly $100 Million in Series A Funding

HashKey Group, a prominent digital asset financial services group based in Asia, has successfully concluded a Series A financing round, securing nearly US $100 million at a pre-money valuation exceeding US $1.2 billion.

The funding round witnessed active participation from existing shareholders, alongside the infusion of capital from new investors, including notable institutional investors, leading Web3 institutions, and strategic partners. The freshly acquired funds are earmarked to strengthen HashKey’s Web3 ecosystem, expedite product diversification in its licensed business segment in Hong Kong, and propel global development with a focus on compliance and innovation.

In 2023, HashKey Group made significant strides in the regulatory landscape of the Hong Kong virtual asset industry. HashKey Exchange, a part of the group, introduced the first licensed virtual asset exchange app in Hong Kong. This groundbreaking platform offers users secure and seamless one-stop virtual asset trading services. Within a short span of four months since its launch, the platform garnered over 155,000 registered users, achieving a daily average trading volume of US$630 million in the past 30 days. HashKey Exchange also forged strategic partnerships with more than ten brokerage firms and six publicly listed companies, solidifying its position as a leader in the virtual asset industry within the “Hong Kong Narrative.”

HashKey Group actively invests in the future through a robust Web3 ecosystem, complementing its core businesses. These include HashKey Capital, a global asset manager exclusively focused on blockchain technology and digital assets; HashKey Cloud, a leading blockchain node validation service provider; HashKey Tokenisation, offering tokenization services; and HashKey NFT, providing Web3 PFP incubation and community operation services, among others.
