Aptos and BCG Jointly Release Hong Kong Tokenized Fund Whitepaper, Building Institutional-Grade Underlying Infrastructure for Tokenized Assets to Become the Core Direction of Future Financial Innovation

Odaily News Aptos Labs, in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and with support from Hang Seng Bank, has released a whitepaper titled "Digital Currency: The Multiplicative Development Opportunity for Hong Kong's Fund Industry." The whitepaper systematically summarizes the pilot results from various parties, including Aptos, in the second phase of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's "e-HKD+" initiative. It points out that digital currencies and tokenized assets now possess the mature conditions necessary to support institutional-grade financial applications, and the industry is transitioning from the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) stage to large-scale commercial implementation. Building underlying infrastructure that meets institutional needs around tokenized assets will become the core direction for the next phase of financial innovation.

The whitepaper further indicates that the key to achieving widespread adoption in the tokenized market lies in deploying infrastructure with interoperability, programmability, on-chain compliance capabilities, and institutional-grade standards. Aptos has previously deeply integrated with leading financial institutions to build the underlying standards required to support a trillion-dollar tokenized market. The pilot project, through a permissioned network architecture, supported programmable digital currencies (such as simulated e-HKD and tokenized deposits), completing instant settlement of tokenized funds and embedded compliance reviews.
