Hong Kong Monetary Authority Annual Report: Tokenization Ecosystem is Another Key Focus Area of "Fintech 2030"

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has released its 2025 annual report. In the section on key priorities and outlook for 2026, the HKMA stated it will continue to participate in international discussions and cooperation on digital asset policies, particularly concerning the impact of stablecoin arrangements on monetary and financial stability, to ensure the regulatory framework is more aligned with international standards and best practices. Furthermore, another key focus area under "Fintech 2030" is advancing Hong Kong's tokenization ecosystem, further promoting the tokenization of real-world assets (including financial assets), and enabling these assets to be settled on the blockchain through new digital currencies (such as the digital Hong Kong dollar, tokenized deposits, and regulated stablecoins) to support faster and more seamless financial transactions.
