The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority jointly announced on Monday that they have concluded the first phase of a review regarding the further adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in Hong Kong's fixed income market, suggesting that Hong Kong's legal and regulatory environment is already sufficiently flexible for tokenised bond issuances.

โžค Hong Kong's Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) have concluded the first phase of a review on adopting DLT in the fixed income market.

โžค Key areas for exploration include electronic execution of issuance documents, electronic signatures for trusts, and concepts of possession and transfer for tokenized fixed income instruments.
