TON Foundation has collaborated with HashKey to enhance the “open network” and “expand access” to fiat on and off-ramps for Telegram wallet users in the Asia-Pacific Region.
In a statement, TON Foundation and HashKey indicated their intention to continue their partnership to enhance the accessibility and user experience of the TON ecosystem, reflecting their mutual commitment to integrating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology into everyday life.
“By optimizing the fiat on-and-off ramp experience, we strive to make cryptocurrency an integral part of daily life, advancing accessibility and innovation within the TON ecosystem,” stated Livio Weng, COO of HashKey, in a press release.
“With local teams already achieving significant traction, we are eager to welcome a new wave of mini-app developers on TON,” remarked Steve Yun, President of the TON Foundation.
Focus Is on the Hong Kong Market
The collaboration will initially target the Hong Kong market, with TON Foundation and HashKey affirming their commitment to adhering to all regional laws and regulations.

In the announcement, the companies further noted that success in this initial market will pave the way for expanding their joint initiatives to additional markets, in line with their common vision of fostering accessible and decentralized financial services.
‘Hong Kong’s Crypto Regulations Might Limit Global Appeal’
As previously reported, HashKey COO Livio Weng has also expressed concerns regarding Hong Kong’s recent regulations concerning crypto trading, indicating that they might restrict access for international clients.
Hong Kong’s regulatory framework requires all crypto exchanges operating in the city to submit applications for regulatory approval by February of this year. In response, 24 companies, including major players like Bybit, OKX, and Crypto.com, applied for these licenses. Crypto exchanges that did not submit license applications are mandated to cease operations by May.
HashKey currently possesses one of only two licenses issued for digital asset exchanges in Hong Kong. The other licensed exchange, OSL, has recently completed a sale of nearly 30% of its stake to BGX. While specifics remain unclear, sources familiar with the transaction reportedly described BGX as an unlicensed cryptocurrency entity with connections to China.
TON Foundation has also indicated that it is considering resources from HashKey Group as a treasury management solution.
