HashKey’s Web3 Push Boosts Hong Kong’s Status as a Regulated Digital Finance Center

HashKey Group, a prominent digital asset exchange, made a significant impact at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025, using the event as a platform to highlight its rapid growth within the Web3 sector and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a leading center for regulated digital finance. The 10th anniversary of Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK Festival, hosted at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, gathered together innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors from the fintech space. HashKey’s presence in Halls 5B–E stood out, attracting crowds with eye-catching branding and engaging interactive exhibits.

Among the highlights was HashKey’s regulated exchange, HashKey MENA, which launched in Dubai earlier this year, as well as the intuitive HashPass Wallet, designed to offer both robust security and user convenience for digital asset management. The booth drew large numbers of visitors, thanks in part to viral social media promotions that amplified the platform’s reach. Additionally, HashKey revealed its intention to organize the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025 in April, targeting an audience of over 10,000 and further strengthening Hong Kong’s reputation as a blockchain innovation hub.

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee recently reaffirmed his commitment to fully support the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Shenzhen next year, aligning with the city’s broader strategy to deepen connections with international financial markets. HashKey’s focus on regulatory compliance and building institutional alliances reflects this approach, as the company drives blockchain adoption through education, technological advancement, and cooperation with authorities. This aligns with a wider industry trend: according to CoinShares, global crypto ETF inflows reached $5.95 billion by early October 2025, positioning Hong Kong as a major hub for institutional crypto adoption.

The event also highlighted evolving trends among crypto investors. While

ETFs experienced $543.59 million in withdrawals and ETFs saw $210.43 million in outflows over a three-day period, Solana’s BSOL ETF attracted $197 million in new investments, indicating a rising interest in high-performance blockchain solutions. Nevertheless, HashKey remains committed to nurturing the broader ecosystem for the long term, rather than reacting to short-term market swings. The company’s interactive booth, featuring staff in distinctive lion hats, blended professionalism with creativity, leaving a strong impression on visitors and supporting Hong Kong’s aspirations to lead in regulated Web3 development.

As the digital asset industry evolves, HashKey’s strong presence at FinTech Week marks a shift toward institutional-level offerings and international cooperation. With Bitcoin trading above $126,000 and Hong Kong’s regulatory environment gaining momentum, HashKey’s initiatives are well-aligned with the city’s goal of becoming a global center for digital finance.
