HashKey Capital has launched the HashKey XRP Tracker Fund.
It is the first fund in Asia designed to track the price of XRP. Ripple, a
blockchain-based payments company, will be an early investor in the fund.
Last year, HashKey
Capital obtained Type 4 and upgraded Type 9 licenses from the Securities
and Futures Commission (SFC), allowing it to provide securities and virtual
asset management and advisory services to retail investors in Hong Kong.
HashKey Launches XRP Fund for Institutions
The new fund is open to professional investors. It offers
exposure to XRP without the need for direct token ownership. XRP is currently
the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, following Bitcoin
(BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Its main use case is in cross-border payments.
“Institutional investors are eager to access regulated
products around the world, and this is exactly what the HashKey XRP Tracker
Fund will deliver in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Fiona Murray, Managing
Director APAC at Ripple.
XRP is used by banks and financial institutions to send
funds quickly and at lower costs. This is often cheaper than traditional
options like wire transfers. HashKey Capital says the fund is in line with its
aim to connect traditional finance with blockchain-based systems.

Ripple, HashKey Plan More Crypto Products
Investors in the fund can subscribe using cash or in-kind
contributions. Subscriptions and redemptions are allowed once a month. The fund
uses CF Benchmark as its pricing standard. CF Benchmark is known for its work
in cryptocurrency index products in both the US and Asia Pacific.
This is the third tracker fund from HashKey Capital. It
follows two previous funds linked to BTC (3008.HK) and ETH (3009.HK), both
launched with Bosera.
HashKey Capital and Ripple plan further collaboration. These
projects will combine HashKey Capital’s experience in asset management with
Ripple’s background in blockchain and digital payments.
