Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited announced on 10 November 2026 the successful pilot with Ant International of a redemption liquidity facility for Ant International’s investment in a tokenised money market fund.
The bank says the facility lets corporate clients access liquidity without waiting for the underlying fund settlement cycle to complete, bridging the timing gap of fund redemption.
It adds that it will explore how digital assets can be used as collateral for a broader range of financing, liquidity and treasury needs.

Why it matters

Banks with corporate treasury clients holding tokenised money market funds can see a bank financing product being used to cover the redemption settlement gap, although the release gives no facility size, fund name or network and describes the work as a pilot.
