The newly launched Money Market ETF will pioneer the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology
HashKey Group , a leading end-to-end digital asset financial services group in Asia, and Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Limited (“Bosera”) announce the launch of the tokenised money market ETFs, Bosera HKD Money Market ETF and Bosera USD Money Market ETF , 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.”
