BOCHK uses tokenised central bank money on Ensemble TX for 24/7 interbank tokenised deposit settlement, reports more than HK$2.3 billion in real-value transactions

Bank of China (Hong Kong) said on 2 November 2026 that, in the pilot phase of the HKMA's Ensemble TX, it has introduced tokenised Central Bank Money (CeBM) as the settlement asset for interbank tokenised deposit transfers and has completed multiple real-value transactions on a 24/7 basis. BOCHK says it supported Ant International in the first batch of real-time cross-border and interbank fund transfers using tokenised deposits, and, with BOC Macau, helped institutional clients subscribe to the ChinaAMC RMB Digital Money Market Fund and trade the ChinaAMC HKD Digital Money Market Fund in the secondary market with tokenised deposits. As at the end of October, BOCHK has processed more than HK$2.3 billion in real-value transactions on Ensemble TX, which also included tokenised-deposit cash settlement for the HKSAR Government's Fourth Digital Green Bonds Offering and a forfaiting transaction.
