Hong Kong will pilot the tokenization of Exchange Fund Bills before the end of 2026, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui said at a press briefing on financial development measures tied to the city’s first five-year plan for economic and social development and the Chief Executive’s 2026 Policy Address. Hui said digital assets and fintech are new growth engines for Hong Kong, adding that digital bonds issued in the city account for about 50% of the global total. He also said the Central Moneymarkets Unit, or CMU, will build a digital asset platform during 2026 to provide one-stop services for digital bond issuance and settlement. On regulation and market development, Hong Kong plans to refine its virtual asset licensing regime, improve the regulatory framework for tokenized investment products, support trading of regulated stablecoins on licensed platforms, and encourage broader use cases for compliant stablecoins.
