Hong Kong SAR Government Issues Fourth Batch of HK$20 Billion Equivalent Digital Green Bonds

Odaily News: The Hong Kong SAR Government announced today (September 29) the successful pricing of approximately HK$20 billion equivalent in digital green bonds under the Government Sustainable Bond Programme, covering Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi, US dollars, and euros. In addition to continuing the use of traditional settlement methods and the tokenized central bank money settlement option introduced last time, this issuance also introduced tokenized deposits through EnsembleTX in the primary issuance settlement process for the HKD-denominated bonds, making it among the world's first digital bonds to incorporate HKD tokenized deposits. This further enhances the digital ecosystem and lays the foundation for exploring the programmability of digital currencies.
