Standard Chartered’s Blockchain Breakthrough in Hong Kong
Standard Chartered Bank and Ant International have announced the release of a blockchain-based tokenized deposit solution. The project is part of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Project Ensemble, which focuses on implementing distributed ledger technology in the financial system. This move illustrates the growing importance and application of blockchain solutions within major financial institutions.
With this solution, Standard Chartered is able to provide scalable real-time liquidity through tokenized deposits, including transfers of Hong Kong dollars, offshore yuan, and US dollars. The solution operates on Ant International’s Whale Exploration platform, a sophisticated infrastructure for treasury operations.
Blockchain technology is revolutionising treasury management, and we are pleased to be early adopters of its use cases to enable our clients to take advantage of its extensive benefits. – Mahesh Kini, Global Head of Cash Management, Standard Chartered Bank
The financial industry has largely endorsed this development. Although no specific market impact data has been recorded, the introduction of blockchain technology in such a critical area encourages other institutions to explore similar avenues. The current initiative signifies a strategic expansion of Standard Chartered’s capabilities in tokenization and blockchain integration.
Whale Exploration Facilitates $333 Billion in Blockchain Settlements
Did you know? Since its inception, the Whale Exploration platform handled $333 billion in blockchain settlements within Ant International’s treasury, reducing costs significantly for multiple banks involved. This represents one-third of their managed payments.
Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $86,672.37 with a market capitalization of 1.73 trillion dollars and dominance of 59.51%, as per CoinMarketCap. The last 24 hours saw a trading volume of $44.23 billion, showing an increase of 11.20%. The coin’s negative price trends continue over longer periods, reflecting broader market challenges.
According to Coincu research, blockchain applications in areas like tokenized deposits open paths for worldwide liquidity improvements and efficient treasury management. These advancements might prompt regulatory bodies to adopt more progressive financial technologies, potentially reshaping the global financial landscape.
