As a core digital assets infrastructure provider with solid long-term structural growth drivers, HashKey creates a current valuation as a highly attractive opportunity for entry.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-xm425453\" class=\"quFrX lqD6C s0dZt t5MrV\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"_0nrb0\">As a full-stack player across the digital asset value chain, HashKey generated HK$723 million in revenue in 2025, with transaction facilitation services accounting for 72% of topline. HashKey holds 75% market share of Hong Kong\u2019s regulated onshore digital asset trading volume. Its on-chain services and asset management services delivered steady performance, with assets under management (AUM) reaching HK$7.2 billion as of end-2025. HashKey holds 11 core licenses across major jurisdictions including Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Bermuda and Dubai, establishing robust compliance barriers.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-6jb6d455\" class=\"quFrX lqD6C s0dZt t5MrV\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"_0nrb0\">Citi highlights three key long-term growth drivers underpinning HashKey\u2019s growth. First, HashKey accelerates migration from offshore to onshore digital asset trading. Frost &amp; Sullivan projects a 63% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for Hong Kong\u2019s onshore digital asset trading volume in 2024- 2029, of which HashKey is a key beneficiary.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-rp9pn708\" class=\"quFrX lqD6C s0dZt t5MrV\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"_0nrb0\">Second, HashKey\u2019s Layer-2 blockchain infrastructure, HashKey Chain (HSK Chain), strategically positions it to capture share of the agentic payment economy. Besides, HashKey has joined the Agent Payment Protocol (AP2) alliance by Google. Citi estimates this segment could deliver approximately HK$1.59 billion in annual revenue by 2030.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-nljak728\" class=\"quFrX lqD6C s0dZt t5MrV\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"_0nrb0\">Third, HashKey is an early-mover in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with around HK$2 billion of real-world assets deployed on-chain as of 2025. The company is well-placed to capture massive growth from multi-trillion-dollar RWA market in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-3tcz7461\" class=\"quFrX lqD6C s0dZt t5MrV\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"_0nrb0\">On the financial front, Citi forecasts HashKey\u2019s revenue growth to HK$880.2 million, HK$1.225 billion and HK$2.049 billion in 2026, 2027 and 2028 respectively. Driven by operating leverage and efficiency enhancement brought by AI, Citi forecasts HashKey will deliver core net profit of HK$9.683 million in 2028, turning to profit with gross margin set to climb steadily to 60.1%.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-656e5b38 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"656e5b38\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d6d70cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d6d70cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>About HashKey Holdings Limited<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f72788 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19f72788\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>HashKey Holdings Limited (&#8220;HashKey&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;, Stock Code: <a class=\"Q9Ehn I6LU7\" href=\"http:\/\/3887.hk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"web-link\">3887.HK<\/a>) is a mature, comprehensive digital asset company in Asia with a global footprint, building a digital asset ecosystem by providing end-to-end financial infrastructure, technology, and investment management.
