HashKey Capital received approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to offer an in-kind crypto subscription to its actively managed fund, HashKey Digital Investment Fund, on 28 April 2025.

HashKey Capital’s in-kind subscription model would now allow investors to invest directly using the top 100 tokens by market capitalisation. This includes popular options like BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, SUI, LINK, TON, and DOT.

Traditionally, crypto investors need to convert their virtual assets into fiat currency before subscribing to a fund. This process could be deemed time-consuming, operationally complex, and may include extra conversion fees and slippage.

“Our in-kind crypto subscription goes beyond improving the investor experience: It reflects the way virtual assets are actually used and stored—making fund access more efficient and inclusive. It’s a new benchmark for regulated crypto investing in Asia Pacific and beyond.”

The HashKey Capital in-kind crypto subscription is one of the milestones in HashKey Capital’s initiatives to enhance the digital asset investment experience within a regulated framework.

Over the past six months, the firm has purportedly secured SFC approval for Ethereum staking, discretionary account management, and other offerings.

Institutional and accredited investors looking to subscribe to the HashKey Capital in-kind crypto subscription fund using virtual assets are invited to contact the team at liquidfunds@hashkey.com.

HashKey Capital manages a suite of digital asset products, including an actively managed fund and the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin (3008.HK) and Ether (3009.HK) spot ETFs, which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
