HashKey Chain has launched Hong Kong’s first regulated silver-backed Real World Asset (RWA) tokens, providing professional investors with direct access to fractional ownership of physical silver through blockchain technology. The project, developed in partnership with Timeless Resources Holdings Limited and its subsidiary Silver Times Limited, represents a significant step in connecting traditional commodities with on-chain investment infrastructure.
Institutional investors are increasingly entering the silver market due to its role in green energy, industrial demand, and supply constraints. They access silver through mining stocks, ETFs, futures, and tokenized assets, using it as both a hedge and a high-demand commodity. This growing institutional interest is driving prices higher, encouraging global market shifts, and establishing silver as a significant asset class beyond its traditional niche.
🔔HashKey Chain now supports the on-chain issuance of Hong Kong’s first regulated silver-backed RWA token.

Tokenization bridges traditional markets and blockchain
Each Silver Token is backed one-to-one by a troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, held securely by an independent trustee, ensuring transparency and asset protection. The tokens are fully compliant with Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) regulations, marking a first for regulated silver RWA products in the region. HashKey Chain provides low transaction costs, robust smart contract functionality, and full compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, enabling institutional investors to participate efficiently in the silver market.
The initiative also creates a streamlined path for institutional capital to move from traditional finance into blockchain-based asset classes. By linking physical asset ownership with on-chain distribution, the Silver Token project reduces barriers to entry, increases liquidity, and offers professional investors a verifiable and auditable investment channel.
Building the future of regulated RWA investment
HashKey Chain’s infrastructure enables a full on-chain lifecycle for silver RWAs, from asset onboarding to circulation. Eddid Securities, a licensed market participant, provides placement and market access, allowing professional investors to engage with the token in a compliant framework. The project demonstrates how regulated tokenization can expand asset accessibility while maintaining strict compliance standards.
Looking forward, HashKey Chain plans to scale this model to other commodities and financial instruments, including bonds, structured products, and stablecoins, forming a comprehensive on-chain financial ecosystem. HashKey note that projects like Silver Tokens could set the standard for institutional-grade digital assets and accelerate the integration of traditional markets with blockchain finance.
Meanwhile, HashKey Chain launched the CPIC Estable MMF, a tokenized USD Money Market Fund managed by CPIC Investment Management (H.K.) Co., Ltd., secured $100 million in subscriptions on its first day.
