HashKey Capital and AMBR (Amber International Holding Limited, Nasdaq ticker: AMBR), a fintech-focused AI agent company, announced a strategic partnership to jointly explore the practical application of AI agents and cutting-edge technologies in the financial and digital asset sectors.
The collaboration combines AMBR's AI agent capabilities and financial infrastructure with HashKey Capital's institutional investment expertise and global fund management experience. It also marks another step forward in AMBR's strategy to bring AI agents into real-world financial applications, opening up new opportunities for the industry as a whole.
The partnership was announced on stage by Michael Wu, Founder and CEO of AMBR, and Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital, at the exclusive "Capital Next: Allocation, Reimagined" cocktail reception held during Hong Kong FinTech Week.
Exploring AI Agent Applications in Core Financial Workflows
Under the partnership, the two parties plan to explore synergies between core financial workflows and task-oriented AI systems, including how to responsibly apply AI agent architectures to investment research, operational automation, and institutional client services in high-frequency market environments.
Both companies come from fast-moving, high-stakes markets and have deep backgrounds in applying new technologies to real-world financial workflows. Rather than treating AI as a simple layer of information, the collaboration aims to explore deep operational integration — studying how AI agents can execute complex, multi-step tasks. The work will follow three principles that AMBR has distilled in building its own AI agents: maintaining human oversight, setting clear autonomy boundaries, and ensuring data security and controllability.
The two parties will also collaborate at the product level to make it easier for AMBR's clients to access HashKey Capital's more diversified products and services.
Shaping a Shared Vision for the Future of AI Agents
Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital, said: "The financial and digital asset industry is rapidly shifting from informational AI to task-oriented AI agents that can operate around the clock in data-intensive environments. Hong Kong provides an ideal regulatory and market environment, setting a high standard for building a secure, high-impact fintech sector."
Michael Wu, Founder and CEO of AMBR, said: "AI agents are shifting from simple Q&A to executing real work, and finance is where trust is most critical and standards are highest. In finance, agents earn trust by understanding workflows, operating within clear boundaries, and remaining under human oversight. This is how we build at AMBR, and HashKey Capital is the ideal partner to bring this vision into institutional investment."
This partnership marks HashKey Capital's early strategic positioning in AI agent technology and is the first major partnership AMBR has announced since its business transformation. Both parties view this announcement as an initial milestone and look forward to sharing more progress as joint projects advance.
