HashKey Launches Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS): An Asia-Based Super Gateway Enabling Traditional Finance to Enter the Crypto World

Hong Kong, Nov. 4, 2025 — HashKey Group ("HashKey"), Asia's leading comprehensive digital asset group, today announced the official launch of HashKey Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS), a one-stop platform designed to lower the barriers to Web3 adoption and connect traditional finance with digital finance, enabling institutional clients to enter the digital asset industry quickly, securely, and compliance-friendly.

HashKey CaaS will leverage HashKey Chain — a public blockchain designed by HashKey and preferred by financial institutions and real-world asset (RWA) issuers, and integrate HashKey Group's key capabilities, including on-chain services, asset tokenization, licensed liquidity, institutional-grade custody, and security framework, to help financial institutions roll out their digital asset businesses with lower costs, shorter cycles, and higher efficiency.

HashKey CaaS Addresses Three Core Pain Points for Traditional Institutions Accessing Web3

Traditional institutions entering digital finance often face challenges, including navigating complex regulations, high technical barriers, poor operational services, and lengthy onboarding cycles. HashKey CaaS offers an all-in-one pathway across "compliance-friendly, reliable technique, smooth operation".

• Lower Web3 Entry Barriers and Enable Efficient Access to Digital Finance

HashKey Group holds comprehensive licenses¹ for the digital assets industry in Hong Kong and has secured digital-asset licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including Singapore, Dubai, Japan, and Bermuda, while expanding into key markets such as Europe and the UAE. Leveraging its compliance network, HashKey CaaS features a built-in on-chain AML module. Through an integrated framework of "licenses + products + on-chain compliance-friendly modules," HashKey enables institutions to seamlessly integrate into the global digital finance ecosystem."

• Eliminate Technical Barriers, Simplify the Deployment Process for Institutional Businesses

To address the pain points of on-chain deployment — technical complexity, high costs, and long cycles — HashKey CaaS uses an asset tokenization engine to streamline the entire lifecycle — from legal structure design, smart contract development, asset issuance, and distribution to ongoing management — significantly simplifying on-chain deployment. Combined with DAT/ETF Staking Pro, it enables institutions to activate native on-chain yields and unlock the growth potential of held assets.

• Resolve Service Breakpoints, Enhance User Experience

HashKey CaaS follows an "Autonomy at the front-end, shared infrastructure at the back-end" model: clients retain their own front-end interfaces and branding while connecting to HashKey's unified infrastructure and ecosystem support on the back end. This covers modular capabilities, including transaction matching, custody services, node operation, compliance auditing, and risk management, ensuring clients have a consistent user experience, stable system performance, and a compliant operational foundation across the business lifecycle.

From Hong Kong to Global Standard-Setting Leadership

At the launch event, Leo Li, CEO of HashKey On-Chain BG, stated: "CaaS is not only an innovation in service delivery—it is a statement of HashKey's commitment to being the bridge between traditional finance and the crypto world. With 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 risk and higher efficiency without the burden of building complex blockchain infrastructure. This aligns with HashKey's mission — making digital assets massively accessible. Only by connecting Web2 users through CaaS can Web3 technology provide real value for the real economy and financial innovation, offering trustworthy digital asset services to one billion users worldwide."

Looking ahead, HashKey Group will accelerate the global rollout of the CaaS platform—from consolidating its foundation in Hong Kong, to regional expansion and ecosystem growth, and ultimately to global leadership and standards setting. Guided by the principles of "compliance at the core, technology as the driver, and trust as the cornerstone," HashKey Group will continue to empower financial institutions worldwide to embrace the future of digital assets and help build a trustworthy, open, and sustainable next-generation financial infrastructure.
