Cross-Chain Money Market Governance Token, HARD, to be Co-Listed on BitMax.io

BitMax.io (BTMX.com), an industry-leading digital asset trading platform built by Wall Street quant trading veterans, has announced the primary co-listing of HARD Protocol’s HARD token (HARD) under the trading pair of HARD/USDT on November 6th at 10:00 a.m. EST.

HARD Protocol (previously Harvest.io) is a cross-chain money market that enables users to lend, borrow, and earn with their digital assets. HARD, the native governance token for the protocol, launched with the mainnet upgrade that took place on October 15th, 2020. The token can be used as collateral in the HARD Protocol supply and borrowing markets, as well as for voting on the management and evolution of the platform.

In contrast to other money markets, HARD opens DeFi to the larger cryptocurrency market, taking token holders beyond ETH access products like lending and borrowing. As an application built on multi-asset DeFi platform Kava, HARD is set to capitalize on the Kava-4 Mainnet upgrade which will introduce support for BTC, BUSD, XRP, and other digital assets. New digital assets will be also supported within the HARD Protocol money market alongside Kava native assets like KAVA, HARD, and USDX.

The HARD Protocol money market is the first project of its kind launched on the Kava blockchain. Kava gives the platform access to cross-chain assets, Chainlink oracles, and other key infrastructure. To support platform security and stability within this relatively new design paradigm, compared to Ethereum, HARD code is being audited by CERTIK, peer reviewed, and tested prior to listing.

“The primary co-listing of HARD on BitMax.io will be beneficial for both BitMax.io users and users of the Kava DeFi ecosystem,” said Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io, “HARD offers investors a cross-blockchain money market to lend and borrow assets in a new way. This listing collaboration gives BitMax.io users exposure to HARD Protocol through the HARD token, and at the same time, allows HARD users to further invest in the platform’s governance.”

Launched in August 2018, BitMax.io is a leading digital asset trading platform with a broad range of financial products and services for both retail and institutional clients, with robust design ranging from innovative volatility products to margin trading, derivatives trading, staking products, and other investment solutions.

Central Asian Innovation Hubs Set Global Goals: New International Offices, $10 Billion in Tech Exports, and Over 8 Unicorns by 2030

This year, the largest technology parks in Central Asia—Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan—will open new international hubs in China and the United Arab Emirates as part of their joint initiative under the Central Asian Innovation Hubs brand. They will also expand participation in major global tech forums and aim to generate more than $10 billion in tech exports and create over eight unicorns by 2030.

These ambitious plans were announced by the CEOs of Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan during the visit of the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, to the AlmatyFair.ai exhibition. The two leaders were introduced to the activities of Central Asian Innovation Hubs—a strategic alliance of the region’s top tech parks aimed at accelerating the development of Central Asia’s startup ecosystem.

“We’re committed to strengthening our partnership with IT Park Uzbekistan under the unified Central Asian Innovation Hubs brand to ensure dynamic global positioning of Central Asia’s innovation potential. This year, we plan to launch joint hubs in China and the UAE and participate in the world’s largest tech platforms, including the Eurasia Blockchain Summit in Turkey, GITEX Europe in Germany, London Tech Week in the UK, TechCrunch Disrupt in the US, Biban in Saudi Arabia, and Web Summit in Portugal. These efforts will significantly expand the international reach of Central Asian startups, attract strategic partners, and elevate the innovation brand of the region,” said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.

In 2024, Central Asian Innovation Hubs—initiated by Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan—showcased more than 40 regional startups at global forums, including the INMerge Innovation Summit, Web Summit 2024, and TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. These appearances helped raise the region’s profile and opened new international opportunities for Central Asian founders.

“Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have already achieved significant progress in the tech sector. IT Park Uzbekistan is confidently transforming the country into a regional hub for service delivery and IT outsourcing, while Astana Hub is building a strong startup ecosystem that fosters innovation. By joining forces and leveraging each other’s strengths and experiences, we can reach new heights even faster. A new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs is emerging in our countries—ambitious, bold, and thinking beyond convention. They are already shaping the future. Our strategic goal is not just to support this movement but to create a resilient and dynamic ecosystem where every talented individual has access to global expertise, resources, and international opportunities for scaling. Central Asian Innovation Hubs are more than just startup platforms. They are growth engines shaping the future of Central Asia as a region open to global investment, technological advancement, and the full realization of human potential,” said Abdulahad Kuchkarov, CEO of IT Park Uzbekistan.

Another major milestone in regional collaboration was the signing of a memorandum of understanding at the AlmatyFair.ai exhibition in Almaty between Astana Hub, IT Park Uzbekistan, and Growth Vision Pro Ltd. The agreement outlines joint efforts to promote Central Asian startups in the Chinese market through the establishment of a new international hub in Shanghai. The parties will collaborate on ecosystem development, investment attraction, and international expansion, as well as launch joint acceleration programs and support resident startups from both countries entering China.

From March 28 to 30, Almaty hosted AlmatyFair.ai, one of the largest AI exhibitions in the region, bringing together leading tech companies, startups, and AI experts. The event was organized by the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan and the Akimat of Almaty. Kaspi.kz served as the general sponsor, with Freedom Bank and Halyk Bank as official partners.
