Singapore, April 21, 2026 — Leading institutional-grade digital asset staking infrastructure, HashKey Cloud, today announced its official integration into the XDC Network as an institutional-grade Masternode Validator, directly participating in the core transaction infrastructure of the blockchain network. This partnership marks a pivotal step for HashKey Cloud in the enterprise blockchain space, particularly in trade finance and RWA tokenization.
As a validator node, HashKey Cloud will assume core responsibilities on the XDC Network, including transaction validation, ledger maintenance, and network governance. The XDC Network is a blockchain specifically designed for trade finance, cross-border payments, and real-world asset tokenization. By joining, HashKey becomes part of the core node ecosystem composed of institutional-grade operators, collectively building the foundational infrastructure of the XDC Network.
Shanlong Chen, Head of XDC Network in Asia, said: “This partnership is a significant milestone in our long-term effort to drive deep institutional participation. Each institution that joins as a validation node further reinforces XDC’s positioning as a trusted network for financial institutions and governments—not only at the technical level, but also in terms of institutional governance. HashKey Cloud’s deep involvement at the infrastructure level brings compliance standards, governance responsibilities, and institutional credibility into the network’s operations—core values that anonymous nodes cannot replicate, and the very foundation of XDC Network.”
Leo Li, CEO of HashKey’s On-Chain Business Unit, said: “For HashKey Cloud, selecting a blockchain infrastructure is a decision that must be made with great care. XDC Network’s deep expertise in trade finance and asset tokenization made it our clear choice. Asia is at the forefront of institutional-grade blockchain adoption, and as financial institutions and governments across the region gradually shift toward blockchain-based settlement and tokenization, we view this partnership as a vital starting point for deeper ecosystem engagement.”
This partnership is part of XDC Network’s ongoing strategy to attract digital asset companies and collaboratively build infrastructure, with more validation node partners expected to be announced over the coming months.
