The future of crypto is looking more institutional. HashKey Group, one of Asia’s leading digital asset firms, has announced a new push into the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) space with the launch of a multi-currency DAT fund. The goal is bold but clear: build a bridge between traditional finance and Web3.
The fund, which targets more than $500 million in its first phase, is set to become the largest of its kind in Asia. HashKey isn’t just putting money to work. It’s building an ecosystem.
The DAT model allows for flexible subscriptions and redemptions, making it better suited to crypto’s 24/7 nature than traditional ETF products.

By focusing on assets tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum, the fund positions itself at the heart of crypto’s most reliable networks. But HashKey’s vision goes beyond returns. The company wants to set new standards for how institutions interact with on-chain assets.
Why DAT Matters
DAT is emerging as a new way for traditional capital to safely enter the crypto space. Unlike ETFs that passively mirror prices, DAT structures are designed for the volatility and liquidity of digital assets. They give investors a compliant entry point while still tapping into Web3’s growth potential.
In practice, this could accelerate how quickly capital flows into projects across Ethereum, Layer-2 networks, and other blockchain ecosystems. For HashKey, the fund is not a new direction but a continuation of its decade-long involvement in crypto.

A History of Building in Web3
HashKey has deep roots in Ethereum. Its chairman, Dr. Xiao Feng, was among the early backers of the network in Asia. Over the past ten years, the firm has invested in more than 600 blockchain companies, backed 400 Ethereum projects, and launched its own Ethereum Layer-2 chain.
The company also runs one of Asia’s first licensed digital asset exchanges and organizes the HK Web3 Festival, a major industry summit. In other words, HashKey isn’t new to the game. It has been building the foundations of Asia’s crypto scene from the start.

The Bigger Picture
The timing of the DAT fund is no accident. Global regulators are tightening standards, and capital markets are entering a phase where only strong, compliant players will thrive. With its history, scale, and focus on trust, HashKey believes it can lead this shift.
By driving money into both assets and ecosystems, the DAT fund could help Web3 projects find stability, liquidity, and mainstream recognition. For investors, it represents a safer, more structured way to take part in crypto’s next phase.
Looking Ahead
HashKey is betting on the long game. The DAT fund isn’t just about raising money. Instead, it’s about reshaping the rails of digital finance. If successful, it could accelerate the integration of crypto into global markets and make Hong Kong a hub for the next wave of digital asset growth.
For now, one thing is clear: HashKey wants to be the institution that brings Wall Street and Web3 closer than ever before.
