Both firms bring deep expertise and shared values to the partnership: long-established credibility in a rapidly evolving global crypto ecosystem, a commitment to regulatory compliance, and a common goal of expanding institutional and retail participation in digital assets.
Recognizing the trillion-dollar opportunity to bridge traditional finance and digital assets — and unlock institutional capital that is primed for tokenization — HashKey and Kraken will explore collaboration across several strategic areas:
- Driving Market Maturation — Coordinate go-to-market strategies for the development and progression of institutional-grade on-chain products spanning Western and Asian markets.
- Ecosystem Growth — Pool resources to support developer engagement, community initiatives, and regulatory dialogue aimed at unlocking the potential of tokenization across jurisdictions.
- Joint Marketing — Explore opportunities to launch co-branded campaigns that raise awareness of the innovation and utility of tokenized assets, showcasing their role in a broader, modern, diversified trading portfolio.
“This strategic partnership opens the door to significant opportunities in digital finance,” said Dr. Xiao Feng, the Executive Director, Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group. “By aligning Kraken’s institutional capabilities with HashKey’s infrastructure and regulatory expertise in multiple jurisdictions, we’re setting the stage for more robust cross-border collaboration in this evolving space.”
Arjun Sethi, Co-CEO of Kraken added: “The tokenization of financial products represents a major evolution in market infrastructure. Our collaboration with HashKey reflects our shared interest in accelerating institutional participation globally—particularly in the markets where clear regulatory frameworks and strong infrastructure are emerging.”
Over the long term, the partnership lays the groundwork for seamless capital flows between the world’s two largest financial regions, enabling broader digital finance applications and interoperable infrastructure.
