HashKey launches CaaS service: based in Asia, creating a super interface for traditional finance to enter the encryption world

# Hong Kong, November 4, 2025  

HashKey Group ("HashKey"), a leading Asian digital asset financial services group, announced the official launch of its one-stop service platform, HashKey Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS). Aimed at "lowering the barrier to Web3 access and connecting traditional finance with digital finance", this platform enables institutional clients to enter the new era of digital assets quickly, securely, and in a compliance-friendly manner.  

Leveraging HashKey Chain—a key RWA (Real-World Assets) and financial public chain developed by the Group—HashKey CaaS fully integrates HashKey Group’s core capabilities, including on-chain services, asset tokenization, liquidity, institutional-grade custody, and security systems. It helps financial institutions deploy digital asset businesses at lower costs, in shorter cycles, and with higher efficiency.  

## HashKey CaaS Addresses Three Core Pain Points for Traditional Institutions Entering Web3  

Currently, traditional institutions still face challenges such as complex regulatory requirements, high technical barriers, poor operation and maintenance, and long implementation cycles when venturing into digital finance. HashKey CaaS provides a systematic solution, creating an integrated access channel that is "compliance-friendly, technically reliable, and operationally smooth":  

### 1. Lowering Web3 Access Barriers for Efficient Integration into the Digital Financial Ecosystem  

As a unicorn with a full license in Hong Kong’s digital asset industry¹, HashKey Group has obtained digital asset licenses in Singapore, Dubai, Japan, Bermuda, and other regions, while expanding into key markets such as Europe and the UAE. Leveraging this existing compliance network, HashKey CaaS is embedded with an on-chain Anti-Money Laundering (AML) module. Through an integrated system of "licenses + products + on-chain compliance friendliness", it effectively helps institutions integrate into the global digital financial ecosystem.  

### 2. Eliminating Technical Barriers to Simplify Institutional Business Deployment  

To tackle the pain points of "complex technology, high costs, and long cycles" in institutional on-chain deployment, HashKey CaaS offers end-to-end lifecycle support for asset tokenization—covering legal structure design, smart contract development, asset issuance, asset distribution, and subsequent management—significantly simplifying the on-chain deployment process. Additionally, it integrates DAT/ETF Staking Pro to help institutions unlock on-chain native returns and unleash the growth potential of held assets.  

### 3. Connecting Service Gaps to Enhance Consistent User Experience  

Adhering to the service concept of "independent front-end, shared back-end", HashKey CaaS allows clients to retain their front-end interfaces and own brands, while connecting the back-end to HashKey’s unified infrastructure and ecosystem support. This includes modular capabilities such as trade matching, custody services, node operation, compliance auditing, and risk management, ensuring clients enjoy consistent user experience, stable system performance, and a compliance-friendly operational foundation throughout the business cycle.  

## From Hong Kong to Global Standard-Setting  

Li Chen, CEO of HashKey’s On-Chain Business Group, stated at the launch ceremony: "CaaS is not just an innovation in service models, but also a declaration of HashKey’s commitment to its position as a ‘bridge between traditional finance and the crypto world’. Through open infrastructure and ecosystem resources, we aim to enable every bank, securities firm, and asset management institution to embrace the digital asset era with lower risks and higher efficiency—focusing on value creation and business innovation, without the need to invest in building complex underlying blockchain infrastructure. Aligned with HashKey’s mission ‘to make digital assets accessible to all’, only by connecting Web2 users via CaaS can Web3 technology truly serve the real economy and financial innovation, providing reliable digital asset services to one billion users worldwide."  

Looking ahead, HashKey Group will accelerate the global strategic deployment of CaaS: from consolidating its foundation in the Hong Kong market, to regional expansion and ecosystem development, and finally to global leadership and standard-setting. Upholding the philosophy of "compliance as the core, technology as the driver, and trust as the cornerstone", HashKey Group will continue to empower global financial institutions to embrace the future of digital assets and promote the building of a trusted, open, and sustainable new financial infrastructure.
