Oceanus Group Limited, a Singapore Exchange (SGX)-listed food security platform, and HashKey Group, a leading digital asset financial services provider, have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionise global trade finance through stablecoin settlements. The collaboration, formalised on 9 April 2026, seeks to address the $2.5t global trade finance gap, which significantly impacts small-to-medium enterprises.
The partnership will be executed through Oceanus’s technology subsidiary, Oceanus Digital Intelligence Network (ODIN), and HashKey Technology Services. By integrating ODIN’s artificial intelligence-driven trade finance platform with HashKey’s regulated settlement infrastructure, the two companies aim to create a pioneering “operating system” for Asian trade corridors.
Adrian Teo, CEO of ODIN, highlighted the strategic alignment, stating, “Oceanus has always been about securing the future of food. By partnering with HashKey, we are securing the future of how that food is traded.” Jason Tay, Managing Director of HashKey Technology Services, added, “We are providing the regulated infrastructure necessary for stablecoin capital to flow into real-world trade.”
Oceanus, originally an abalone farming business, has transformed into a global food security leader. The company is now leveraging Web3 technologies to facilitate trade, allowing even traditional trading companies to settle transactions faster and more securely using stablecoins. This partnership marks a significant step in enhancing financial inclusion and security across Asian trade corridors.
