HashKey to Power MicroBit ETH and BTC ETFs with Native Staking

HashKey Exchange has announced its role as the official trading platform for MicroBit Capital’s new Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. This marks a fresh milestone for Hong Kong’s digital asset market. Both ETFs went live on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today, drawing strong attention from investors. The MicroBit Ethereum Spot ETF (3425.HK) has introduced a first-of-its-kind feature in the region: native staking at issuance. Through this service, investors can earn staking rewards directly from their ETF holdings, without the need for complex individual setups. 

HashKey Exchange will provide the staking services, supported by HashKey Cloud’s Web3 infrastructure technology. The collaboration is designed to ensure security, efficiency, and reliability for investors. Industry experts see this as a significant step toward broadening access to Ethereum’s yield potential. By embedding staking into the ETF, MicroBit and HashKey are offering investors exposure to ETH’s price. Additionally, its network rewards are in a regulated structure.

Strategic Collaboration Between HashKey and MicroBit

Randall Chan, Managing Director of HashKey Exchange, said the dual ETF listings highlight Hong Kong’s growing leadership in the virtual asset market. “We are delighted to witness the listing of the MicroBit Bitcoin Spot ETF and the MicroBit Ethereum Spot ETF, especially the first Ethereum Spot ETF in Hong Kong to offer staking services right from issuance. This marks an important milestone for Hong Kong’s virtual asset ETF market,” Chan stated.

Feng Jiasheng, CEO of MicroBit Capital, emphasized that the partnership expands investor choice in a secure and cost-effective way. “Through HashKey Exchange, we can offer investors more diversified and secure investment options. We believe virtual assets are gradually becoming an indispensable asset class,” he noted.

Building Momentum in Hong Kong’s ETF Market

The launch of these ETFs comes as Hong Kong pushes to strengthen its role in global digital finance. The city aims to position itself as a trusted hub for regulated crypto investments. By pairing spot exposure with staking, the products target a wider group of investors. Institutions gain structured access, while retail participants receive a safer entry point into crypto markets.

HashKey has signaled that its expansion will not stop here. The exchange plans to broaden its services further, focusing on compliance. Also, give investor safeguards and long-term growth of Hong Kong’s digital asset ecosystem. With this step, Hong Kong sets itself apart as a leader in regulated crypto investment. It is creating a framework where innovation and investor protection can move forward together.
