The next steps include in-depth research on the technology, business plan, and laws required to use e-HKD for transactions.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has continued to test retail e-HKD, a digital version of the local currency. The authorities have already conducted experiments for six months to ensure smooth operation of virtual currency. Now they are taking the next step and testing how it works for mortgage pricing and distribution.

According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the next steps will include in-depth research into the technology, business plans and laws required to use e-HKD for transactions. These tests are conducted with a few selected participants to see how the currency may perform for mortgages and other lending and borrowing activities.

Tokenization of Assets and Potential Regulatory Framework

The proposed digital currency, currently in its testing phase, is expected to speed up the process of borrowing funds from more than one lender without having to visit a bank. They also come with preferential interest rates and ensure that borrowers get their loans paid off faster. However, it is not yet known whether Hong Kong authorities will form a new regulator to monitor activities related to mortgage and lending practices related to e-HKD.

In the first e-HKD pilot program, top companies such as Boston Consulting Group (BCG), HKT Payment, and ZA Bank are of the opinion that the adoption of e-HKD can further pave the way for tokenization of various assets. Number of assets available for tokenization. According to BCG’s estimates, the assets available for tokenization in Hong Kong are approximately HK$36 trillion, or approximately US$46 trillion, consisting mostly of residential real estate. Tokenizing assets makes all of them easily accessible, allowing them to be easily used as collateral when using digital currencies.

In addition to making it easier for people to borrow, lenders can also benefit from e-HKD. The entire process is digitized, reducing the risk for the lender, making it easier to lower interest rates. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can easily secure the relevant collateral to recover the money. The entire process is automated using smart contracts to ensure that no party is fooled and the contract only goes as agreed.

Accept digital currencies and enhance financial accessibility

This new development comes after China recently launched a digital yuan that can be used in local stores in Hong Kong. The digital currency, e-CNY, is only available to Hong Kong residents and can deposit up to 10,000 CNY into their wallets.

As more financial institutions invest in digital assets such as tokenized bonds and real estate, the need for a digital currency like e-HKD that can speed up and make transactions easier is becoming increasingly important.

According to Raymond Chan, vice president of the Institute of Financial Technologists Asia, tokenizing assets increases their liquidity, making them accessible to more investors. He added that banks will see opportunities to provide custodian assets for tokenized assets, providing security and trust to investors holding these digital assets.
