Hong Kong forms expert group to update tokenised bond rules

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has established a Tokenised Bond Expert Group with 21 institutions to revise regulations for blockchain-based bonds.

The group held its first discussions in May on Hong Kong’s legal and regulatory framework for tokenised bond issuance and trading. The effort aims to expand such issuance beyond initial government pilots. Institutions involved include banks, law firms and crypto entities. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced the setup of the collective on June 5.

Hong Kong has awarded its first stablecoin issuer licences to HSBC and a joint venture led by Standard Chartered, marking the city's latest step towards becoming a global digital asset hub. HSBC plans to launch its Hong Kong dollar stablecoin in the second half of this year, integrating it into its PayMe and mobile banking platforms.

Analysts and investors say the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (HKMA) cautious issuance of only two stablecoin licences to traditional banks prioritises risk control but limits Hong Kong’s digital asset ambitions. The market had expected at least three licences for issuers from broader backgrounds.
