Hong Kong Monetary Authority: Preparation Work for Retail Use of Digital Hong Kong Dollar to Be Completed in the First Half of Next Year
BlockBeats News, October 29, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) released the Phase 2 report of the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" pilot scheme, introducing the trial results and experience. The HKMA stated that it will continue to advance preliminary work in policy, legal, and technical aspects to prepare Hong Kong for the potential future extension of the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" for individual and corporate use. The related preparatory work is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026, and the timing for expanding the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" will be adjusted based on international developments, the latest technological advancements, and market demand. The report revealed that the 11 sets of trials in Phase 2 cover 3 major thematic innovation use cases, including tokenized asset settlement, programmability, and offline payments.
The HKMA stated that the current demand for the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" is primarily outside the retail scenario, so the future focus will be on developing the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" for wholesale use, promoting financial institutions to use the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" for payments. Some financial institutions have already used the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" in certain use cases to support the development of the tokenized ecosystem and cross-border payment scenarios, such as international trade settlement. The HKMA will announce a set of common tokenization standards to promote the widespread programmability of digital currency. These standards are designed to lay the foundation for the future development and application of the "e-Hong Kong Dollar" to meet the payment needs of individuals and businesses in Hong Kong.
