金管局公布Ensemble項目新階段以支持代幣化存款及數碼資產的真實交易
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced the launch of Ensemble TX, formally moving the Ensemble Project into the pilot phase to support real transaction settlement of tokenised deposits and digital assets. The initial focus is on transactions in tokenised money market funds, with cross-bank settlement conducted initially through the Hong Kong dollar Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, and it will continue to operate throughout 2026, progressively upgrading to 24/7 settlement in tokenised central bank money. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission said they will continue to work together to promote practical applications of tokenisation technology.
Results from the sandbox launched in August 2024 have now been upgraded to real transactions, allowing readers to understand the settlement methods and 2026 timetable of the pilot phase.
