HashKey Holdings Limited has announced a proposal to acquire the entire equity interest in APEX, a Singapore-based digital-asset services provider.
The move signals the Hong Kong-listed group's intent to deepen its footprint in Southeast Asia's increasingly regulated crypto landscape.
The acquisition, disclosed via a press release on July 29, represents a significant step in HashKey's regional consolidation strategy.
By taking full ownership of APEX, HashKey aims to integrate the Singapore entity's operations and client base into its broader ecosystem.
The deal underscores the growing appetite among established crypto firms to secure licensed infrastructure in key jurisdictions like Singapore, which has emerged as a global hub for digital-asset regulation.
This development comes as Hong Kong's own market infrastructure undergoes significant changes.
