Aurora Mobile Partners with HashNut to Advance Stablecoin Adoption for Web3 Payments and Broader Use Cases

SHENZHEN, China, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG) ("Aurora Mobile" or the "Company"), a leading provider of customer engagement and marketing technology services in China, today announced a strategic partnership with HashNut, a leading crypto payment solution provider. This collaboration will drive the adoption of stablecoins for Web3 payments and digital applications, advancing the global circulation and commercialization of digital assets.

Aurora Mobile has already begun integrating HashNut’s Web3 payment system into several products targeting Southeast Asia and global markets. This move will enable annual stablecoin settlement volumes - including USDT and USDC - to reach several million US dollars. Leveraging HashNut’s technological expertise in on-chain fund management and smart contract payments, Aurora Mobile will significantly improve digital payment experiences in overseas markets, optimizing capital turnover efficiency.

Going forward, the partnership will extend beyond Aurora Mobile’s current ecosystem with both companies planning to co-develop stablecoin payment solutions designed to provide compliant, secure, and efficient digital payment and clearing infrastructure for overseas clients and Chinese companies expanding globally. These solutions will be applied to cross-border advertising, digital content distribution, in-app economies, and SaaS subscriptions, helping advance the large-scale adoption of digital assets in emerging markets.

Both companies will use Hong Kong as a strategic hub and its forward looking global digital finance and stablecoin regulatory frameworks to collaborate with licensed stablecoin projects and local financial clearing networks. Together, they will develop a more transparent, secure, and compliant system for fund flows, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a global financial center and innovation hub for digital assets.

Mr. Weidong Luo, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Aurora Mobile, commented, “HashNut’s technical capabilities in transparent on-chain payments and smart contract custody empower us to deliver a highly competitive digital payment experience to global customers. We will work closely going forward to develop open and accessible stablecoin solutions, enabling more Chinese businesses to expand globally and helping overseas clients thrive in the digital economy.”

HashNut’s CEO and Founder, Mr. Edward Du, stated, “Aurora Mobile's robust presence in the global developer ecosystem, big data, and enterprise service markets uniquely positions it to advance stablecoin payment adoption. This strategic partnership will enhance Aurora Mobile’s products and provide next-generation stablecoin infrastructure for clients globally.”

Aurora Mobile and HashNut are committed to expanding their partnership across more regions and markets. Together, they will drive the compliance and standardization of stablecoins and decentralized payments in Web3 applications, creating greater value for companies and users globally.
