HK FinTech Week NFT Souvenir
HashKey Group believes that tokenisation can serve an otherwise underserved segment of the financial market, creating new ways for small to medium sized enterprises to bring in capital and access markets.
In line with the theme of tokenisation, HashKey Group will also unveil its exclusive non-fungible token (NFT) exhibition souvenir. The unique souvenir comes in the form of a fractal art piece named “HashKey Group @HKFTW21” by “HashKey Group”, which has been tokenised into 5,000 tokens.
HashKey Group partnered with DLA Piper and BCW Group to tokenise the art piece using the TOKO tokenisation engine on the MATIC blockchain. The first 5,000 visitors to HashKey Group’s booth will receive a token. Visitors without a digital asset wallet can download the HashKey ME digital wallet to hold their souvenir.
Launch of HashKey Academy and Tokenisation Guide
HashKey Group has seen rising interest from professional and institutional investors in blockchain and digital assets. As part of its efforts to educate the financial industry, HashKey Group will be launching the HashKey Academy, an online portal with resources to help investors better understand the technology, its intersection with traditional financial services and key trends.
Furthermore, HashKey will launch its Guide to Tokenisation at the conference, which aims to provide investors a definitive guide to navigating tokenisation and how this can empower the financial sector. https://www.hashkey.com/tokenisation.
HashKey Group can be found at booth A02 near the Hall 3C entrance. Please let us know if you would like to arrange an interview either at or after the conference.
