HashKey Announces $500 Million-Plus DAT Fund to Bridge Institutions and On-Chain Assets

The Hong Kong firm pitches a perpetual vehicle designed for institutions, channeling capital into BTC and ETH projects with active operating roles.

Overview

  • The multi-currency Digital Asset Treasury fund is structured as a perpetual vehicle that permits ongoing subscriptions and redemptions to meet liquidity needs.
  • The initial strategy focuses on bitcoin and ether and includes investing in DAT-focused companies alongside direct operational participation.
  • HashKey frames the product as an institutional bridge connecting traditional financial capital to on-chain markets under Hong Kong’s regulated environment.
  • The first phase targets raising more than $500 million as the fund seeks to support public blockchain ecosystems such as Ethereum.
  • Industry observers caution that DATs entail higher manager risk and possible conflicts of interest, calling for independent governance, external custody, and clear disclosures.
