Hong Kong crypto companies: 54 on NAUT, 37 listed as investors

By NAUT Research · · 7 min read

54 Hong Kong crypto companies with Hong Kong on their NAUT record: 37 funds, 16 projects, 1 service firm. Logos: Hex Trust, IDG Capital, Hash Global, HashKey Cloud, OneKey, Nano Labs, Metalpha, RD Technologies, PhotonPay, Kenetic Capital, Adaverse, Brinc, Aspen Digital, SNZ Holding, Web3Labs, Skynet Trading.

NAUT tracks 54 Hong Kong crypto companies, meaning company rows whose stored country is Hong Kong, read from NAUT's database on 4 November 2026: 37 sit on NAUT's investor pages, 16 on its project pages and 1 on its service pages. 17 of the 54 carry a sector tag, spread across 13 tags from Payment and DeFi to Wallet, RWA, Gaming and Market Maker, and every company below links to the NAUT page that names its team.

How this list was built: on 4 November 2026 NAUT read every company row in its own database with Hong Kong as the country, 63 rows in all. 6 of them are angel investors stored as companies, named on NAUT as Akshat Vaidya, Da Hongfei, Dominic Tsang, John Fiorelli, Josie Leung and Yat Siu, so they came out, leaving a shortlist of 57. 3 more came out after their own records were read: The Spartan Group, whose stored summary says, in its own words, "It was established in Singapore in 2017.", Prenetics, a Nasdaq-listed health sciences company rather than a crypto company, and Cyberport, the Hong Kong government's digital technology and startup hub rather than a crypto firm. That leaves the 54 in this article. Counts, sector tags, X handles and summaries are NAUT's own stored values on 4 November 2026, not a reading of each company's website.

Source checking was a sample, never the whole list. NAUT put 1 stored claim for each of 10 of the 57 shortlisted rows to a source check on 4 November 2026. 8 came back confirmed with the quote found on the page read or a second source behind it, and 2 came back confirmed without the quote being matched on the page read, so this article states only NAUT's own record for those 2. 3 of the 10 checked rows are the 3 dropped above, so 7 of the 54 published companies had a claim checked and the other 47 carry only what NAUT's record holds.

Which claims did NAUT check against a source?

7 of the 54 published companies had 1 stored claim put to a source check on 4 November 2026. 5 of the 7 came back confirmed with the quote found on the page read or a second source behind it, and this article uses those 5. The other 2 came back confirmed without the quote being matched on the page read, so only NAUT's own record is stated for them.

Company Claim checked Result Used
More than 50 projects and more than $300M in assets Confirmed, quote found on the page read Yes
Funded more than half of China's unicorns at an early stage Confirmed, quote found on the page read Yes
Node validation across more than 80 blockchain networks Confirmed, quote found on the page read Yes
Trades on Nasdaq under the ticker MATH Confirmed, the quote was not matched on the page read, a second source carries it Yes
Institutional digital asset custodian Confirmed, quote found on the page read Yes
Sells mining hardware under the JASMINER brand Confirmed, the quote was not found on the page read No
Stablecoin issuer Confirmed, the quote was not found on the page read No

Hash Global's NAUT page says the firm has invested in more than 50 projects and holds over $300M in assets under management. For IDG Capital, the page checked says the firm "has funded over half of all Chinese unicorns in their early rounds", a figure the checker ties back to a 2019 Hurun report. HashKey Cloud "supports more than 80 public blockchains with enterprise-grade node validation services", according to the restaking operator page read on 4 November 2026. Metalpha trades on Nasdaq under the ticker MATH, per its own site and a second financial data source, and Hex Trust sells regulated institutional custody, markets and staking services, per its own custody page.
