The tokenized securities have daily liquidity and interest calculated based on the overnight financing rate secured by Treasury securities, SOFR, in the case of the dollar version. The issuance was made directly on the HashKey Chain and the assets will subsequently be distributed among qualified investors. The target audience includes high net worth individuals and financial institutions with a professional profile.

Em official note , HashKey called the initiative “a major step forward in the city’s real-world asset (RWA) tokenization journey,” highlighting the potential to expand collaboration in Hong Kong’s digital securities ecosystem.

Zeng Chao, CEO of GF Securities (Hong Kong), stressed the strategic importance of the partnership: “Collaborating with HashKey Group to launch GF Token is a key initiative in building Hong Kong’s tokenized securities ecosystem. We believe this move will further cement GF Securities (Hong Kong)’s first-mover advantage in emerging digital finance.”

GF Securities’ announcement comes shortly after the Hong Kong government released a new public policy guideline aimed at tokenizing assets and expanding the licensing regime for cryptocurrencies. Paul Chan, the special administrative region’s financial secretary, said the new guideline “sets out our vision for [digital asset] development and shows the practical use of tokenization through application, with the aim of driving the diversification of use cases.”

The move also comes amid the entry of other Chinese brokerages into the crypto sector in Hong Kong. Guotai Junan International, for example, has received regulatory authorization to offer cryptocurrency trading services. Companies such as China Merchants Securities and Huatai International are also updating their licenses to operate in this emerging market.
