At Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026, HashKey On-Chain's COO Rachel Qiu outlined the infrastructure needs for decentralized finance to scale. She emphasized that on-chain markets will need multiple funding channels beyond stablecoins—incorporating tokenized bank deposits, money market fund shares, and U.S. Treasury instruments to build robust liquidity.
Beyond liquidity infrastructure, Qiu indicated HashKey is developing tokenization systems for trade-related instruments. The initiative encompasses bills of lading, invoices, and account receivables, targeting use cases in international payments and working capital solutions. The focus suggests a shift toward applying blockchain settlement to tangible commercial assets rather than purely financial primitives.
The announcement remains narrow in scope: no timeline, transaction volumes, or partnership details have been disclosed. It is unclear whether HashKey has already begun pilot programs or remains in the research phase for these asset classes.
