The HKMA will harness these sandboxes to test and drive the tokenization of traditional financial assets and real-world assets in these primary areas: fixed income and investment funds, liquidity management, green and sustainable finance, trade, and supply chain financing.
These themes will be tested and innovated upon in the first phase of the Ensemble Sandbox- a controlled environment. It also intends to collaborate with the Hong Kong Center under the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub on various tokenization topics, further enhancing the global reach and effectiveness of the sandbox. The HKMA will also work with members of the CBDC Expert Group for its expertise in further driving the development of the sandbox.
