🔵HashKey Exchange Co-CEO Ru Haiyang accepted an interview with the globally renowned financial magazine Euromoney: Innovations in services by traditional financial institutions are opening a new landscape in the virtual asset sector.

DeThings, March 7 - On March 5, the globally renowned financial magazine Euromoney published a report titled "HashKey: How Asian Banks are Reshaping Operations for the Digital Asset Era," which mentioned that Deutsche Bank has recently officially announced the opening of a new fiat deposit channel for HashKey Exchange, focusing on the development of the Web3 ecosystem in Hong Kong and the integration of traditional financial institutions' businesses.
"The innovation of services by traditional financial institutions is creating a new landscape in the digital asset field," said HashKey Exchange Co-CEO Ru Haiyang. Reflecting on HashKey's development journey, he noted that the primary challenge for the platform in its early days was establishing banking partnerships, while the current focus has shifted to continuously optimizing user experience as the scale of operations expands. "When banking business models become homogeneous, true competitive differentiation lies in the willingness to refine user experience rather than merely technical capabilities."
According to Euromoney, regardless of which bank end-users use, they must log into their respective banking platforms to transfer funds to HashKey. HashKey plans to enable users to complete deposit functions directly within its app without needing to switch platforms, which will significantly enhance user experience and reduce operational friction. As cryptocurrencies are increasingly accepted as a form of value storage, HashKey is exploring banking services in the crypto space that have not yet fully developed, such as mortgage financing and leveraged trading. Furthermore, the platform plans to expand its collaboration with banks to provide products such as money market funds (MMFs) to help clients enhance capital efficiency while offering cash management tools and fixed-income products to crypto users.
It is noteworthy that HashKey's banking partnership landscape is diversifying and deepening. Ru Haiyang emphasized, "We look forward to building ecological synergies with institutions that possess comprehensive services in private banking, investment banking, and asset management. This multidimensional collaboration will redefine the boundaries of wealth management services in the digital age."
As the policy dividends for Web3 in Hong Kong continue to be released, Euromoney pointed out in its report that licensed virtual asset trading institutions represented by HashKey are constructing a value bridge connecting digital assets with traditional capital markets through deepening cooperation with traditional finance. This development path not only sets a benchmark for compliant operations in the industry but also indicates a trend of deep integration of crypto financial services into the mainstream financial ecosystem.
