HashKey Group and Asseto Reach Strategic Cooperation to Promote RWA Tokenization Development

Recently, a leading Asian digital asset financial services group announced the completion of a strategic investment in fintech company Asseto Holdings Limited. This marks the beginning of in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), jointly building an efficient and scalable on-chain asset infrastructure, promoting the development of the stablecoin ecosystem, and integrating traditional finance with the decentralized economy.

This cooperation is not only a strategic investment but also a comprehensive collaboration between the two parties in the RWA field. Both sides will leverage their respective advantages and resources to create an efficient and scalable on-chain asset platform, bridging traditional finance with decentralized finance, and promoting industry compliance, standardization, and institutionalization.

A major highlight of the collaboration is that Asseto's institutional-level RWA issuance capability will be deeply integrated with the high-performance Layer 2 blockchain network platform developed by the investors. Both parties will work together to develop end-to-end technical solutions to support the on-chain issuance, settlement, and circulation of various financial assets, including cash management, funds, and bonds, ensuring efficient flow and traceability of assets between "off-chain and on-chain" throughout the entire process. Asseto will prioritize the native deployment of its high-quality RWA products within this Layer 2 ecosystem, and in the future, users are expected to conveniently and efficiently access diverse on-chain assets through trading platforms and other channels provided by the investors.

In this strategic cooperation, the Layer 2 network not only participates in the construction as the underlying infrastructure but also plays a technical guiding and ecological coordination role in the entire process of RWA asset on-chain. As a high-performance Layer 2 network specifically designed for financial-grade assets, it has provided Asseto with comprehensive standardized solutions in multiple key aspects, including smart contract standards and modular deployment. On-chain issuance requires high-standard channels and systems and protocol layers that can support complex asset structures, and this Layer 2 network is a key builder of that role.

At the same time, this Layer 2 network will also serve as one of the main chains for the deployment of Asseto's diverse RWA products, assisting projects in quickly entering the vast market of on-chain financial networks through ecological incentives, liquidity support, developer resources, and other support systems. The advancement of this cooperation not only demonstrates the strong adaptability of this Layer 2 network in the real-world asset landing scenarios but also further establishes its systematic position in the construction of financial-grade RWA infrastructure standards.

This cooperation has also extended to the fields of education and industry-academia-research. On June 30, 2025, Asseto and its investors jointly became one of the first companies to sign a strategic cooperation memorandum with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, focusing on areas such as blockchain finance, RWA standard formulation, and digital asset regulation, to promote academic research, talent cultivation, and the development of the industry ecosystem, jointly contributing to the construction of Hong Kong as a global leading digital financial innovation center.

In the future, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation in multiple dimensions such as building industry standards and cross-border pilot projects, promoting the healthy development of the global RWA market, accelerating the compliant implementation of new asset types such as stablecoins, tokenized funds, and on-chain bonds, and assisting the comprehensive transformation of traditional financial assets to a Web3 architecture.

This strategic investment is not only a strong recognition of Asseto's technological strength, product capabilities, and market vision, but also lays a solid foundation for both parties to build an Asia-leading RWA tokenization ecosystem. By collaboratively constructing the technical underlying layer, exchanges, custody, research, and regulatory interaction mechanisms, both parties will work together to promote the standardization and scaling of RWA infrastructure, further unleashing the long-term potential of on-chain finance.

Asseto is a fintech company focused on RWA tokenization, dedicated to building a new generation of on-chain asset platforms. The company starts with cash management RWA products and continuously expands to funds, bonds, stocks, private credit, real estate, gold, and other alternative assets, constructing a diversified and sustainable income model. Asseto adopts an institutional-level compliance technology framework, deeply integrating traditional finance with decentralized finance, and has established a strategic cooperation network covering Hong Kong and Asia. The core team members of the company come from top international financial institutions and Web3 projects, possessing rich experience in both traditional finance and decentralized finance. With the rapid development of stablecoins and on-chain yield assets, as well as the continuous launch of products and ecological expansion, Asseto is steadily entering the core ranks of Web3 financial infrastructure construction in Asia. The total locked value of Asseto is expected to continue growing, and it is poised to become an important player in Asia's Web3 financial infrastructure in the future.
