- HashKey Group hopes to improve sustainable development in the cryptocurrency market by making the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF carbon neutral.
- The effort provides a proactive approach to ESG integration in digital assets amidst notable withdrawals from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs and a recent decline in the price of Bitcoin.
HashKey Group, a leading digital asset financial services group in Asia, has joined forces with GreenBTC.Club to launch the “Bitcoin ETF Greening Initiative.” This project aims to significantly contribute to the sustainable growth of the cryptocurrency industry by transforming the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF into a carbon-neutral portfolio.
HashKey Group stated that it will continue to purchase renewable energy certificates based on the holding size of HK Boshi's HashKey Bitcoin ETF, and open up an "Green Bitcoin ETF" area on GreenBTCClub to offset the carbon emissions generated by the historical energy consumption…

The Green Bitcoin ETF’s Origins
Amidst a bearish trend in the cryptocurrency market, with BTC price dipping to $61,783.43—a slight decrease of 0.84% in the last 24 hours and a 6.57% fall over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap—the initiative comes as a refreshing approach to responsible investing.
This decline comes after large-scale withdrawals from US BTC ETFs in recent weeks, which resulted in a startling $454 million loss for Grayscale’s GBTC, as previously reported by ETHNews.
The “Bitcoin ETF Greening Initiative” not only aims to green the Bitcoin blocks held by the Bosera HashKey BTC ETF, but it also promises to establish a new standard for environmental responsibility in the digital asset space.
In order to actively contribute to the greening of the world on behalf of its investors, HashKey Group will continuously buy renewable energy certificates in accordance with the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF’s holdings.
A Specialized Website for Carbon Offset
HashKey will create a new component of GreenBTC.Club named “Green Bitcoin ETF” as a creative way to offset carbon emissions. By counterbalancing the carbon emissions linked to the previous energy usage of Bitcoin mining, this platform will manage the carbon offsets.
ETF investors will receive unique NFTs, which serve as long-term on-chain recordings showcasing an investor’s commitment to Bitcoin’s carbon neutrality and their participation in public welfare through carbon reduction initiatives.
The Bosera HashKey BTC ETF integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concepts, setting a standard that other financial institutions can follow. Investors in this green ETF will transition into “green” digital asset holders, promoting ESG development and engaging more individuals in green finance.
Technological Innovation Using Arkreen and DePIN
GreenBTC.Club makes use of an Arkreen-created tokenized green certificate asset system to make these environmentally friendly projects easier to use in the real world. DePIN, a worldwide community-driven inclusive climate action network, facilitates the deployment of this protocol for on-chain issuance and offset.
