HONG KONG, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HashKey Holdings Limited (3887.HK), a leading
comprehensive digital asset company in Asia, announced that its licensed trading
platform, HashKey Exchange ("HashKey"), has today announced a collaboration with
established global asset manager Franklin Templeton to distribute its flagship tokenized
money market fund, Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Liquidity Fund (grBENJI), to
digital asset investors in Asia.

The collaboration will commence with the launch of the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government
Liquidity Fund (grBENJI) on the HashKey Exchange Earn Channel on August 24, 2026.
The product will provide eligible digital asset investors with access to a fund 
investing primarily in U.S. government money market instruments and U.S. dollar 
cash assets through blockchain-enabled infrastructure.

As the digital asset ecosystem continues to evolve, market participants are increasingly
seeking yield-generating instruments backed by real-world assets. This collaboration
represents an important step toward bridging traditional financial markets with 
compliant digital asset infrastructure, supporting the broader development of on-
chain capital markets.

Through this collaboration, Franklin Templeton expands the reach of its tokenized
fund solutions into regulated digital asset markets across Asia. For HashKey Exchange,
the partnership strengthens its Earn ecosystem by introducing regulated tokenized
investment products and deepening collaboration with leading global asset managers.

Combining Franklin Templeton’s decades of global investment expertise with HashKey
Exchange’s regulated digital asset infrastructure, the collaboration aims to create
a compliant and scalable gateway for institutional and professional investors to
access tokenized financial products from established global asset managers.

Building on the launch of grBENJI, both companies will continue to explore opportunities
to expand access to tokenized products across markets and asset classes, while remaining
committed to advancing transparent and compliant RWA solutions.

**Haiyang Ru, CEO of HashKey Exchange BG, stated**: "Partnering with a global asset
management leader like Franklin Templeton marks a monumental milestone for HashKey
Exchange and the broader Asian digital asset landscape. By bringing the Franklin
OnChain U.S. Government Liquidity Fund (grBENJI) onto our Earn channel, we are directly
addressing the surging institutional demand for compliant, real-world asset (RWA)
yield solutions. This collaboration bridges the gap between traditional finance 
and secure, regulated on-chain infrastructure, setting a new benchmark for transparency
and capital market innovation across the region."

**Chetan Karkhanis, SVP, Digital Assets Client Engagement, Franklin Templeton, commented**:"
We are excited to launch our tokenized money market fund on the HashKey Exchange
platform. Leveraging blockchain technology, the Fund provides investors with enhanced
transparency, security, accessibility, speed, and cost efficiency. Launching on 
HashKey is a key step in broadening our reach, tapping into their rapidly expanding
client base of digital-native banking and wealth platforms alongside established
institutional clients, while advancing our digital assets and innovation strategy
in the region."

**He added**, "We look forward to deepening this partnership by expanding beyond
tokenized money market funds into other tokenized products over time, leveraging
HashKey’s multi-jurisdictional platform spanning Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Dubai
and Bermuda."

*This product is available to professional investors only and is not available for
offering to the public in Hong Kong.
