Hong Kong, Mar. 26, 2026 — HashKey Exchange, one of the largest* licensed virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong and part of Hong Kong-listed HashKey Holdings Limited (3887.HK), has launched its ETH Staking service. The service allows clients to participate in Ethereum staking through a licensed platform in Hong Kong using a dedicated validator node model, earning network rewards. The service is available to clients meeting the minimum 32 ETH requirement for an independent validator.
Following Ethereum’s transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), validator nodes have become central to network security. Currently, most participants engage in staking either by running their own nodes or through third-party service providers. Regulated access to staking, particularly with a one-to-one mapping to independent validator nodes, remains limited. HashKey Exchange’s ETH Staking service provides a regulated entry point into Ethereum network validation. It also brings the independent validator model into a licensed trading platform environment in Hong Kong, improving asset segregation and risk controls for institutional clients, high-net-worth individuals, and retail participants.
Under this service, HashKey Exchange adopts a dedicated validator node structure, with a minimum staking requirement of 32 ETH per node. Clients can stake through the platform’s wealth management channel. Validator deployment and operations are managed by HashKey Cloud, while custody is provided by HashKey Exchange. Each client’s assets are assigned to a dedicated validator node, ensuring that funds are not pooled with those of other users.
Unlike common pooled staking models in the market, where multiple users’ assets are aggregated and rewards distributed proportionally, the dedicated node approach ensures that each client’s assets correspond directly to a single validator node. This structure allows staking rewards to be directly attributable to each client, improving transparency, asset protection, and clarity of ownership.
Michelle Cheng, Managing Director at HashKey Exchange, commented: As institutional capital continues to enter the digital asset market, participating in blockchain network operations is becoming an increasingly relevant way to allocate digital assets. Engaging in Ethereum staking through a regulated platform provides institutions with a clearer participation pathway helping drive a more structured digital asset market.
