HashKey and Kraken have announced a strategic partnership to promote institutional adoption of tokenised assets.
The collaboration aims to combine both firms’ expertise and resources to drive innovation, expand market growth, and develop tokenised real-world asset opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region.
Both companies bring established credibility in the global crypto ecosystem, a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, and a shared objective of broadening institutional and retail engagement in digital assets.
Recognising the growing opportunity to connect traditional finance with digital assets and unlock institutional capital for tokenisation, HashKey and Kraken will explore collaboration in several key areas.
The partnership will focus on developing institutional-grade on-chain products across Western and Asian markets, supporting ecosystem growth through developer engagement and regulatory dialogue, and conducting joint marketing initiatives to raise awareness of tokenised assets as part of a diversified investment portfolio.
“This strategic partnership opens the door to significant opportunities in digital finance,”
said Dr Xiao Feng, Executive Director, Chairman, and CEO of HashKey Group.
“By aligning Kraken’s institutional capabilities with HashKey’s infrastructure and regulatory expertise in multiple jurisdictions, we’re setting the stage for more robust cross-border collaboration in this evolving space.”
Arjun Sethi, Co-CEO of Kraken, added:
“The tokenisation of financial products represents a major evolution in market infrastructure. Our collaboration with HashKey reflects our shared interest in accelerating institutional participation globally, particularly in markets where clear regulatory frameworks and strong infrastructure are emerging.”
Over time, the partnership is expected to facilitate smoother capital flows between major financial regions and support the development of interoperable infrastructure for digital finance.
