Overview
- The strategic agreement, signed on October 6, 2026 in Singapore, turns a July staking pilot into a broader partnership covering staking, custody, institutional trading cooperation and real-world-asset tokenization.
- HashKey Cloud will act as a validator partner on BitGo’s platform, initially supporting Ethereum and Solana staking while client assets remain in BitGo custody throughout the staking process.
- BitGo will serve as custody partner for HashKey Capital and as custodian for HashKey’s RWA tokenization initiatives, with onboarding and separate agreements required before funds or products move forward.
- The firms will cooperate on routing institutional trading flows, though no launch dates, fee schedules or initial client names were disclosed in the October announcement.
- The tie-up responds to demand from Hong Kong, Singapore and broader Asia-Pacific institutions for a connected, compliant infrastructure and could reduce vendor fragmentation by linking custody, yield and tokenization under shared operational controls.
