2 hours ago

On December 18, the Hong Kong Economic Times reported that Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) and Ant Group have tokenized Ant Group’s Hong Kong dollar (HKD), Renminbi (RMB, or yuan), and U.S. dollar (USD) accounts. The tokenization was carried out under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (HKMA) Distributed Ledger Technology Supervisory Sandbox and the Ensemble project framework, using Ant Group’s blockchain-based financial asset management platform, the “Whale Platform.” The joint solution allows Ant Group’s business entities to adopt a new financial asset management model, enabling 24/7 real-time transfers of HKD, RMB, and USD. Mahesh Kini, Global Head of Cash Management at Standard Chartered, noted that as corporate reliance on real-time liquidity rises, market demand for real-time, 24/7 financial asset management is growing rapidly.
