HashKey Group Collaborates With DTCC For Standardized Global Infrastructure For Tokenized Assets

HashKey Becomes First Asian Digital Asset Firm in DTCC Working Group

@HashKeyGroup has joined @The_DTCC's Digital Assets Advisory Services Industry Working Group, becoming the first Asian digital asset service provider in the coalition. The Hong Kong-based firm will work alongside more than 100 global financial institutions, including @JPMorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Nasdaq, and @NYSE, to shape the standards that will govern how tokenized assets are issued, settled, and secured within institutional finance.

HashKey said it will contribute its Asia Pacific regulatory and operational experience to discussions on global tokenization standards. The firm has been building credibility in the tokenization space since 2023, primarily through projects under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's various initiatives, including work on tokenized money market ETFs and bonds, positioning it as a bridge between Asia Pacific's regulatory frameworks and the broader global tokenization push.

What Is at Stake: $114 Trillion in Legacy Assets

The scale of the project is considerable. DTCC's subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), currently custodies assets valued at over $114 trillion, making it one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure in global capital markets. The tokenization service is designed to create digital representations of real-world, DTC-custodied assets while preserving the same entitlements, investor protections, and ownership rights as traditional holdings.

DTCC has already moved beyond pilot programs. On July 15, 2026, the corporation successfully converted DTC-held assets into tokens used in real production trades, marking what it described as the largest tokenization production initiative to date in terms of use cases, asset classes, and participants. A full commercial launch of the DTCC Tokenization Service is targeted for October 2026.

HashKey's inclusion adds an important dimension to the effort. As the only Asian digital asset firm at the table, the group brings regulatory insight from one of the most active markets for tokenized securities, at a moment when the industry is moving from experimentation to standardization.
