The stablecoin landscape is entering a new era—one defined by regulation, real-world integration, and institutional-grade infrastructure. As digital assets evolve from speculative instruments into functional financial tools, one name consistently emerges at the heart of this transformation: HashKey Group.
While not officially listed in Hong Kong’s stablecoin sandbox, HashKey’s influence extends far beyond regulatory checklists. Through its ecosystem of compliant platforms, cutting-edge blockchain technology, and deep liquidity networks, HashKey is quietly building the foundational infrastructure that enables stablecoins to move from theory to practice.
The Dawn of Regulatory Clarity: Web3's "Age of Exploration"
Web3 has entered its own “Age of Exploration”—a modern-day parallel to the 15th-century maritime expeditions where navigators charted unknown waters in search of new economic frontiers. Today, those waters are digital, and the cargo is value itself.
Hong Kong has become a lighthouse in this journey. On May 30, 2025, it formally passed the Stablecoin Ordinance, establishing Asia’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for fiat-backed stablecoins. This milestone didn’t just set rules—it defined safe passage.
With clear regulations in place, the question shifts from if stablecoins will integrate into mainstream finance to how fast—and who will enable that transition. That’s where HashKey steps in.

HashKey Exchange: The Deep-Liquidity Gateway
Imagine stablecoins as cargo ships carrying value across a global digital trade network. They need safe harbors—exchanges with depth, compliance, and speed. Enter HashKey Exchange, Hong Kong’s largest licensed virtual asset trading platform.
It’s no coincidence that major stablecoin issuers—from Yuanshi Tech (Circle’s partner in China) to JD Chain—are choosing HashKey Exchange as their primary listing venue. As an investor and strategic collaborator with Yuanshi Tech, HashKey provides both compliance support and liquidity infrastructure critical for launch success.
In 2024 alone, HashKey Exchange recorded over HK$600 billion in trading volume, cementing its role as a dominant fiat gateway in Asia. With licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Dubai, and Bermuda, it offers a legally sound environment for institutions and retail users alike.
But what truly sets it apart?
- Ultra-low trading fees: USDC/USD trades incur just a 0.03% fee, undercutting traditional financial intermediaries.
- Multi-currency on/off ramps: Direct deposit and withdrawal in USD, HKD, SGD, and AED streamline cross-border transactions.
- Regulatory alignment: Full compliance with local frameworks ensures long-term sustainability.
This combination makes HashKey Exchange the natural first stop for stablecoin liquidity, bridging decentralized finance with traditional capital flows.
HashKey Chain: The Golden Financial Highway
A stablecoin is only as powerful as the network it runs on. While many public blockchains host stablecoins, few are purpose-built for regulated financial innovation.
HashKey Chain changes that. Designed as a compliant Layer 1 blockchain, it serves as a “golden highway” connecting traditional finance to Web3—securely, efficiently, and with regulatory clarity.
Its strength lies in creating a closed-loop ecosystem: issue → use → assetize.
When a stablecoin launches on HashKey Chain, it gains immediate access to:
- HashKey Exchange (for trading),
- OTC liquidity (for large-volume settlements),
- And a growing suite of tokenized financial products.
Already live on the chain are:
- CPIC Estable MMF, a tokenized U.S. dollar money market fund,
- BoC HK’s HKD/USD ETF, offering instant exposure to stable-yield assets,
- GF Token by GF Securities (HK), enabling multi-currency tokenized securities trading.
These aren’t experiments—they’re live financial instruments being used by institutions today.
By embedding stablecoins directly into investment vehicles, HashKey Chain transforms them from simple payment tools into core components of on-chain wealth management. This is where true financial convergence begins.

HashKey OTC Global: The High-Speed Liquidity Engine
For institutions, moving millions in stablecoins can’t rely on retail exchanges. Delays, slippage, and counterparty risk are unacceptable.
That’s why HashKey OTC Global exists—a premier over-the-counter desk engineered for speed, security, and scale.
What makes it unique?
Direct Access to Stablecoin Issuers
HashKey OTC Global is one of the few firms globally with direct minting authority for USDC via Circle. This means large clients can create or redeem USDC at source—bypassing intermediaries, reducing costs, and eliminating delays.
Dual Liquidity Pools
Beyond Circle, HashKey OTC Global is strategically integrated with Tether’s USDT liquidity network, giving clients access to the world’s most liquid stablecoin ecosystem. Whether trading USDC or USDT, users get optimal pricing with minimal slippage.
Bank-Grade Settlement Infrastructure
Perhaps most critically, HashKey OTC Global operates nominated accounts at Standard Chartered Bank and DBS Bank across Asia. Client funds move directly within these trusted banking systems—no third-party custodians, no settlement lag.
Result? T+0 settlement for multi-million-dollar trades—versus the industry-standard T+1 or longer.
Real-World Impact
The benefits aren’t theoretical:
- A major Layer 1 foundation now pays global developers in USDC within minutes, saving over 2% in slippage costs.
- An Asian family office achieved a 0.8% premium on crypto sales while securing same-day bank transfers.
- A venture capital firm realized 2.5% higher exit prices through optimized OTC execution.
These cases illustrate a broader truth: when liquidity flows freely and securely, stablecoins fulfill their promise as tools for global commerce and institutional finance.
Why This Ecosystem Matters
Stablecoins aren’t just about price stability—they’re about financial inclusion, efficiency, and interoperability. For them to succeed at scale, they need three things:
- Compliance – To gain institutional trust,
- Technology – To enable fast and secure transactions,
- Liquidity – To ensure usability across markets.
HashKey Group delivers all three through an integrated stack:
- HashKey Exchange = Compliance + Liquidity,
- HashKey Chain = Technology + Use Cases,
- HashKey OTC Global = Speed + Institutional Access.
This holistic approach positions HashKey not just as a participant in the stablecoin revolution—but as one of its chief architects.
