HashKey Holdings Limited (3887.HK), a Hong Kong listed company, has officially launched ETH Staking services on HashKey Exchange, the largest licensed digital asset trading platform in Hong Kong, allowing customers to participate in Ethereum staking for the first time in an independent node staking model through a licensed trading platform in Hong Kong and receive corresponding network rewards. This service is open to all customers whose staking amount meets the minimum threshold for independent nodes in Ethereum.

As Ethereum transitions to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, validator nodes have become an important infrastructure for the secure operation of the network. Currently, most investors participate in network validation through self-built nodes or third-party node service providers, while the channels to participate through regulated trading platforms and directly correspond to independent nodes are relatively limited. Against this backdrop, HashKey Exchange's launch of ETH Staking services not only provides customers with an entry point to participate in Ethereum network validation through a licensed trading platform in Hong Kong but also, importantly, introduces the independent node model into the scenario of licensed trading platforms in Hong Kong for the first time, further enhancing the asset segregation protection and overall operational risk control level when institutional, high-net-worth, and retail clients participate in Ethereum staking.

In terms of service mechanism, HashKey Exchange adopts an independent node model, with a minimum staking threshold of 32 ETH for a single node. Customers can submit staking applications through the platform's wealth management channel. The deployment and operation of independent nodes are managed by professional node operator HashKey Cloud, and asset custody is supported by HashKey Exchange. Each customer's staked assets correspond to an independent node, and the assets will not be mixed with funds from other users.

Common ETH staking services in the market generally adopt a pooled funds model, which involves pooling assets from multiple users to run nodes and distributing earnings proportionally. In contrast, under the independent node model, each customer's staked assets correspond to an independent node, allowing the network rewards generated by the node to correspond one-to-one with the customer's staked assets, significantly improving asset protection and service transparency for customers, and clarifying the node structure and entitlement to rewards.

Michelle Cheng, Director of HashKey Exchange, stated, “As institutional funds gradually enter the digital asset market, participating in blockchain network operations is becoming a new way for institutions to allocate digital assets. Participating in Ethereum staking through a regulated platform environment helps provide institutions with a clearer path for participation and promotes the digital asset market towards a more regulated direction.”
