IVD Medical Holdings, a publicly traded healthcare firm in Hong Kong, has added $19 million worth of Ether $ETH (ETH) to its corporate treasury — but it’s not just for holding.


The company plans to use ETH as the core infrastructure asset for its tokenization platform, ivd.xyz, aimed at transforming how pharmaceutical intellectual property and other healthcare assets are managed on-chain.



🧬 ETH at the Heart of Healthcare Tokenization


According to IVD’s Chief Strategy Officer Gary Deng, Ethereum was chosen because it’s the:




  • “World’s most mature smart contract platform”




  • Highly liquid




  • Gaining growing institutional approval, including a spot ETH ETF in the U.S.




Here’s what ETH will be used for:




  • Ownership confirmation of tokenized assets




  • Automated revenue distribution




  • Compliance governance




  • Backing for IVDD stablecoin




  • Settlement layer for cross-border healthcare transactions





💰 Beyond HODLing: Staking, Derivatives, and Yield


IVD plans to actively deploy ETH into:




  • Staking and re-staking




  • On-chain derivatives




  • Yield strategies to boost returns while maintaining liquidity and downside protection




This strategy aligns IVD with a growing trend of Hong Kong-listed firms allocating treasury to crypto — but with a more utility-driven approach compared to passive BTC $BTC holdings.



🤝 Strategic Partnership with HashKey


The move follows a partnership with HashKey Group, one of the few licensed crypto platforms in Hong Kong. HashKey will likely play a key role in enabling compliant infrastructure for ETH-backed healthcare finance solutions.



📈 A Growing List of HK Crypto Treasuries


IVD joins a small but growing club of Hong Kong-listed crypto treasuries:




  • Boyaa Interactive holds over 3,100 BTC




  • Meitu previously bought 31,000 ETH and 940 BTC




  • Smaller holders include Yuxing, Moon Inc., and Walnut Capital




But unlike others, IVD is using ETH not just as an asset — but as a foundation for innovation in healthcare tokenization.



Will tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) become the next big crypto use case?
