The following is released on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) co-hosted a workshop on November 11 concentrating on Project Ensemble and tokenised SFC-authorised financial investment items. Roughly 200 market professionals participated in the occasion, where banks and market leaders shared their current useful experience in tokenisation to cultivate additional partnership and advance Hong Kong’s tokenisation environment.
The workshop followed carefully the HKMA statement accompanied a significant turning point throughout Hong Kong Fintech Week 2026 of a brand-new chapter of EnsembleTX, which makes it possible for 24×7 interbank settlement of tokenised deposits. This advancement provided a suitable minute for market individuals to open brand-new chances leveraging EnsembleTX. These efforts are additional strengthened by the SFC’s approval of day-and-night secondary trading for tokenised cash market funds, enabling real-time financial investment and return optimisation by incorporating tokenised deposits with financial investment items.
Looking ahead, Project Ensemble intends to broaden the scale of deals by presenting more impactful tokenisation usage cases that provide concrete advantages and support a sustainable tokenisation market. The HKMA will continue to work carefully with the SFC and the market to expand the business applications of tokenised deposits to settle numerous kinds of tokenised financial investment items.
The Executive Director (Financial Infrastructure) of the HKMA, Mr Nelson Chow, stated, “Hong Kong is well positioned to capitalise on the tokenisation era, driven by its advanced financial market infrastructure and an expanding array of digital money options and tokenised investment products. These capabilities serve as essential public utilities that future-proof our tokenisation ecosystem and support its continued development. The HKMA will continue to collaborate closely with the SFC to cultivate a robust environment that fosters responsible innovation in tokenisation.”
The Executive Director (Investment Products) of the SFC, Ms Elisa Ng, stated, “Tokenisation in Hong Kong is moving beyond experimentation towards commercialisation. The next stage is to generate traffic on these digital rails by connecting tokenised investment products, digital money and financial infrastructure. We are also encouraged by the strong turnout and stimulating discussions at the seminar. Industry insights and collaboration are crucial as we chart the way forward to translate these opportunities into practical commercial applications.”
