HashKey Group Strategic Investment in Asseto to Promote RWA Tokenization Development

A leading Asian digital asset financial services group has recently announced the completion of a strategic investment in fintech company Asseto Holdings Limited. This collaboration marks a deep synergy between the two parties in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), jointly building an efficient and scalable on-chain asset infrastructure, promoting the development of the stablecoin ecosystem, and facilitating the integration of traditional finance with the decentralized economy.

This is not only a strategic investment but also a comprehensive cooperation between both parties in the RWA field. The two sides will leverage their respective advantages to create an efficient and scalable on-chain asset platform, building a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance, and promoting the industry towards regulation, standardization, and institutionalization.

A major highlight of the cooperation is that Asseto's institutional-grade RWA issuance capability will be deeply integrated with the group's self-developed high-performance Layer 2 blockchain network platform. Both parties will collaborate to develop end-to-end technical solutions that support on-chain issuance, settlement, and circulation of various financial assets, including cash management, funds, and bonds, ensuring efficient flow and traceability of assets between off-chain and on-chain processes. Asseto will prioritize the native deployment of its high-quality RWA products within this Layer 2 ecosystem, and in the future, users are expected to conveniently and efficiently access diverse on-chain assets through trading platforms and other channels provided by the group.

In this strategic cooperation, the Layer 2 network not only participates in the construction as underlying infrastructure but also takes on the role of technical leadership and ecological coordination throughout the entire process of RWA asset on-chain. As a high-performance network specifically designed for financial-grade assets, it provides Asseto with comprehensive standardized solutions in several key areas, such as smart contract standards and modular deployment. On-chain issuance requires high-specification channels and institutional and protocol layers capable of supporting complex asset structures, and this Layer 2 network is a key builder of that role.

At the same time, this Layer 2 network will also serve as one of the main chains for the deployment of Asseto's diverse RWA products. Through ecological incentives, liquidity support, developer resources, and other support systems, it will assist projects in quickly entering the vast market of on-chain financial networks. The advancement of this cooperation not only demonstrates the strong adaptability of the network in the real-world asset landing scenarios but also further establishes its systematic position in the construction of financial-grade RWA infrastructure standards.

This cooperation also extends to the fields of education and industry-university-research collaboration. On June 30, 2025, Asseto and the group will jointly become one of the first companies to sign a strategic cooperation memorandum with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, focusing on areas such as blockchain finance, RWA standard formulation, and digital asset regulation, to promote academic research, talent cultivation, and industry ecosystem development, jointly contributing to Hong Kong's goal of building a global leading digital finance innovation center.

In the future, both parties will deepen cooperation in multiple dimensions such as industry standard development and cross-border pilots, promote the healthy development of the global RWA market, accelerate the compliance landing of new asset types such as stablecoins, tokenization funds, and on-chain bonds, and assist the comprehensive transformation of traditional financial assets into the Web3 architecture.

This strategic investment not only reflects the group's high recognition of Asseto's technical strength, product capability, and market vision, but also lays a solid foundation for both parties to create a leading RWA tokenization ecosystem in Asia. By collaboratively building the underlying technology, exchange, custody, research, and regulatory interaction mechanisms, both parties will work together to promote the standardization and scale of RWA infrastructure, further unleashing the long-term potential of on-chain finance.

Asseto, as a fintech company focused on RWA tokenization, is committed to building a new generation on-chain asset platform. The company starts with cash management-related RWA products and continuously expands to funds, bonds, stocks, private credit, real estate, gold, and other alternative assets, creating a diversified and sustainable income model. Asseto adopts an institutional-grade compliance technology framework, deeply integrating traditional finance with decentralized finance, and has established a strategic cooperation network covering Hong Kong and Asia. The core team members of the company come from top international financial institutions and Web3 projects, possessing rich experience in both traditional finance and decentralized finance. With the rapid development of stablecoins and on-chain yield assets, as well as continuous product launches and ecosystem expansion, Asseto is steadily moving into the core ranks of Web3 financial infrastructure construction in Asia. The total locked value of Asseto is expected to continue to grow, with the potential to become an important participant in Asia's Web3 financial infrastructure in the future.
