HashKey Capital today announced the launch of the HashKey FTSE Digital Asset 20 Index Fund (“HashKey 20”), which is the first multi-token crypto index fund approved by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong, now open for subscription to institutional and professional investors. The launch of this fund aims to provide investors with dual advantages: it is a compliant, diversified digital asset investment product and can also serve as an investment pathway to meet the requirements of Hong Kong's new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES).
“In March 2024, the Hong Kong government launched the CIES, and the launch of HashKey 20 a year later is indeed timely. Hong Kong is accelerating its transformation into a virtual asset innovation hub, allowing investors to strategically invest in the digital asset market through this regulated, institutional-grade virtual asset fund while meeting CIES requirements,” said Vivien Wong, Partner of Secondary Funds at HashKey Capital.
The launch of this fund is based on the strong performance of the FTSE Russell Digital Asset 20 Index (“Top 20 Index”), which has performed exceptionally well since its launch in January 2024, consistently outperforming other top indices. As of January 31, 2025, its year-to-date average return reached +109.44%, with a year-on-year net asset value growth of 85.0% by the end of 2024. HashKey 20 closely tracks the performance of the total market capitalization index of the entire crypto market, providing investors with diversified and efficient market exposure to capture the overall growth trend. In addition to the Top 20 Index, HashKey Capital Limited has also collaborated with FTSE Russell (part of the London Stock Exchange Group) to launch two other major indices—the FTSE Russell Digital Asset Infrastructure Index and the FTSE Russell Digital Asset Application Index, with HashKey 20 being the first officially launched index fund.
These indices fully leverage FTSE's expertise in index management and HashKey Capital's in-depth research in the digital asset industry. This synergy is particularly evident in the asset composition of HashKey 20. The index centers around Bitcoin and Ethereum and employs rigorous selection criteria to filter out high-quality tokens that are representative of the market, ensuring that the index accurately reflects and captures broader market trends. The emergence of HashKey 20 allows institutional and professional investors to easily enter the crypto market without the need to research and select individual tokens themselves.
“In the past, many investors were deterred by the complexity and uncertainty of the crypto market. HashKey 20 simplifies investment, allowing investors to hold the 20 highest market cap digital assets through a single fund without having to filter, purchase, and store multiple tokens themselves. It will become the best barometer for the overall trend of the crypto market,” said Vivien Wong, Partner of Secondary Funds at HashKey Capital.
Currently, the main constituent tokens of HashKey 20 include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, ChainLink, Polkadot, Stellar, Filecoin, and Ripple. Based on market performance, the constituent tokens of the index will be adjusted quarterly to ensure that investors always receive the most representative market exposure.
For many investors, HashKey 20 is not only an important entry point into the crypto market but also lays the foundation for exploring more targeted investments in the future. HashKey Capital can provide investors with more refined asset allocation services to help them achieve long-term investment goals.
“Investing in crypto assets is a long-term process. We recommend that investors start with HashKey 20, gradually accumulate experience, and then make more precise asset allocations. Through our flagship index fund and spot ETFs, HashKey Capital is committed to providing comprehensive asset management support to investors,” said Jupiter Zheng, Partner of Secondary Funds and Research at HashKey Capital.
