Winners Rationale

“HashKey won Best Digital Assets Solution for its leadership in building a compliant, institutional-grade bridge between traditional finance and the virtual asset ecosystem in APAC. At a time when private banks and wealth managers are seeking secure and regulated pathways into digital assets, HashKey provides a comprehensive, end-to-end infrastructure spanning exchange, custody and brokerage services,” said Audrey Raj, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“A key differentiator is its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing wealth management frameworks. Through its omnibus account solutions, HashKey enables institutions to offer virtual asset trading to clients via familiar interfaces, lowering operational barriers while maintaining regulatory alignment. Its role in supporting the launch of spot crypto and tokenised money market ETFs further demonstrates its ability to translate digital assets into familiar, investable formats for UHNW clients.

“Looking ahead, innovations such as staking-enabled ETFs, expanded yield products, and on-chain infrastructure signal a shift toward digital assets becoming core components of wealth portfolios. By combining compliance, liquidity and innovation, HashKey is setting the benchmark for institutional digital asset solutions in APAC.”
