SCBHK and Mastercard Launch Tokenized Deposits Test in Hong Kong Sandbox

by

As a researcher with a background in fintech and blockchain technology, I am thrilled to witness the successful live test of tokenized deposits by Standard Chartered Hong Kong (SCBHK) and Mastercard. This groundbreaking collaboration through Mox Bank and Libeara marks an essential step forward in exploring the greater role of blockchain technology in banking operations and fund governance.

Standard Chartered Hong Kong (SCBHK) and Mastercard have successfully launched the first live test of tokenized deposits in Hong Kong’s fintech sandbox. This test, held through Mox Bank and Libeara partnership, denotes an important milestone in terms of trying blockchain technology greater role in banking operations and fund governance.

As a researcher studying the field of carbon tokenization, I came across an illustrative online presentation where a Mox bank customer purchased a carbon credit. Subsequently, this carbon credit was transformed into a digital token through SCBHK’s Libeara platform, which manages carbon tokenization. With the help of Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network (MTN), there was an automated exchange between the tokenized representation and the conserved carbon credit. Eventually, the client received this equivalent token in their digital wallet.

In this context, “saving” refers to the ability to securely transfer or receive verified coin deposits. This capability ensures that all transactions comply with the rigorous requirements of the financial sector regarding process efficiency, transparency, and security.

The results of this test are considered by the HKMA as a key part of their CBDC surface implementation. They are delving deeper into digital expressions of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and Hong Kong-based tokenized deposits, reflecting their determination to keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital asset and blockchain landscape.
