### HashKey Exchange Focuses on Four Key Areas#

HashKey Exchange has announced its four key development directions for 2025, aiming to drive the comprehensive development of Hong Kong’s virtual asset ecosystem. Firstly, they will provide customized solutions for listed companies, enterprises, and payment institutions to ensure their virtual asset transactions take place within a compliant framework, thereby promoting industry standardization. Secondly, HashKey Exchange will expand its product line, including wealth management products and tokenized assets. They plan to launch a money market fund tokenized product with China Everbright in the first half of the year and explore innovative services such as staking. Thirdly, they will strive to reduce the operational costs of compliant exchanges, optimize operational efficiency, and ensure the security of customer assets, laying the foundation for healthy industry development. Lastly, HashKey Exchange will actively build a thriving virtual asset ecosystem, connecting traditional finance with the virtual asset realm and propelling Hong Kong to become a global virtual asset hub. Through collaboration with regulators, HashKey Exchange will explore the launch of options, futures, and leveraged derivatives, further enriching market choices. They will also actively participate in the implementation of Hong Kong’s stablecoin regulations, promote cross-border trade, and develop over-the-counter (OTC) and offline scenarios, attracting more licensed institutions to join the ecosystem and collectively foster industry prosperity. HashKey Exchange will continue to play a bridging role, contributing value to industry development.
