HashKey Group and Bosera Launch World’s First Tokenised Money Market ETF

Published

on

The newly launched Money Market ETF will pioneer the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology

HONG KONG, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HashKey Group (“HashKey”), a leading end-to-end digital asset financial services group in Asia, and Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Limited (“Bosera”) today announce the launch of the tokenised money market ETFs, Bosera HKD Money Market ETF (Tokenised Class) and Bosera USD Money Market ETF (Tokenised Class), which have been approved by Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and will be formally launched in April.

The ETFs are one of the use cases in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (HKMA’s) Project Ensemble Sandbox, which explores innovative tokenisation of real-world assets (RWAs). HashKey Group, as a member of the HKMA’s Project Ensemble sandbox, will continue to collaborate with HKMA and SFC to support the development of Hong Kong’s tokenised ecosystem.

The upcoming tokenised shares are the Bosera HKD Money Market ETF and the Bosera USD Money Market ETF. Money market funds are known for their low risk and high liquidity, making them an essential tool for cash management. Bosera’s use of advanced blockchain technology has enabled the offering of an innovative investment product that balances traditional stability with the agility and flexibility of digital assets.

In comparison to traditional money market funds, this product greatly improves transparency and operational efficiency through blockchain technology, enabling investors to gain direct exposure to high-quality money market instruments by tokens, thereby fulfilling their asset allocation and risk management needs. DeFi investors seeking to balance their yields or virtual asset investors looking to mitigate market risk can find a reliable solution in Bosera’s tokenised money market fund, serving as a “yield stabiliser” for on-chain investors.

By leveraging the collaborative power of the Web3 ecosystem, HashKey Group provides a comprehensive tokenisation solution and full-chain technical support for the product, ensuring seamless integration from technology to operations. HashKey Tokenisation provides a full-process design and execution for tokenised issuance during the entire process. The product is then deployed on HashKey Chain, a public chain preferred by financial institutions and real-world asset (RWA) issuers, and utilises HashKey’s NexaToken service to ensure secure on-chain asset management. Subsequently, HashKey Exchange, the largest licensed virtual asset trading platform in Hong Kong, will serve as the primary distribution channel while also providing custody services through its upcoming Earn Channel.

CMB Wing Lung (Trustee) Limited and BOCI-Prudential Trustee Limited act as the custodians and administrators for the Bosera HKD Money Market ETF and Bosera USD Money Market ETF, respectively, providing fund administration services, including transfer agent services and fund valuation services, which are crucial to the successful issuance of products’ tokenised shares.

“Bringing money market ETFs on-chain through blockchain technology is a crucial step for traditional finance to embrace Web3,” said Dr. Xiao Feng, Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group. “As an important bridge connecting traditional finance and crypto finance, HashKey Group has established a complete Web3 financial infrastructure. Under the current market trend of compliance, we expect more traditional financial institutions to actively enter the crypto finance sector through innovative tokenisation products. This will not only drive the development of the crypto finance market, but also promote the integration of blockchain technology and mainstream financial systems, creating sustainable investment value for institutional and individual investors.”

“As an investment value discoverer, Bosera International has always been committed to providing professional and comprehensive asset management services to all kinds of institutional and individual investors at home and abroad. One of Bosera International’s key strategies is to leverage financial innovation to promote financial inclusion and empower investor services through financial technology,” said Ms. Lian Shaodong M.H., Chairman and CEO, Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Limited. This issuance is our latest product in the Web 3.0 sector, after our Virtual Asset Spot ETF, and we hope to create value for investors. As a leading asset management institution in Hong Kong, we attach great importance to innovation in the financial sector and continuously explore changes in business models through technological advancements. We also pay close attention to the investment preferences and demands of on-chain investors and Generation Z investors. In the future, we will further summarise the experience of this project, apply blockchain technology to more products, and provide investors with more investment options and a better investment experience.”

Mr. Andrew Law, CEO of BOCI Prudential, stated “As a leading custodian of tokenized funds, BOCPT leverages blockchain technology to enhance transfer agency and registry services, paving the way for a new digital era in the industry. As the digital asset ecosystem continues to mature, we remain focused on delivering efficient settlement services to create a more transparent, faster, and more convenient experience for investors – driving greater values across the fund administration industry.”

RepTrak reveals the 2025 Global RepTrak® 100 Most Reputable Companies

Published

on

By

BOSTON, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The RepTrak™ Company, the world’s leading reputation data and insights company, released its annual Global RepTrak (GRT) 100 report. Utilizing its advanced reputation monitoring software, RepTrak gathered data from 211,000 survey responses across 14 major economies to rank the world’s 100 most reputable companies. They share that ranking alongside a full analysis of global corporate reputation trends and corresponding public sentiment in the 2025 report.

For the second consecutive year, the global Reputation Score has increased. Building on 2024’s recovery, it rose by ▲0.7 points to land at a Strong 74.5. This rise comes despite the many global elections, unending economic unease, and geopolitical conflicts that defined this past year. While crises have often triggered sharp fluctuations in corporate reputation, 2025’s GRT data shows a kind of reputational resilience to external disruptions.

“This year’s findings highlight a global turning point in how companies build and deploy a reputation strategy,” says RepTrak CEO Mark Sonders. “In an era defined by constant disruption, the Top 100 companies have distinguished themselves not by avoiding challenges, but by responding with clarity, consistency, and cultural relevance. They’ve earned their reputations by showing up — not just in words, but in action — and stakeholders are taking notice.”

RepTrak’s report explores how people thought, felt, and acted towards companies over the past year. Findings include: notable increases in Conduct and Citizenship efforts, all 7 Drivers of Reputation reaching Strong Scores, stakeholders’ rising willingness to invest, and a record-high Brand Score driven by authentic, culturally aligned corporate communications.
