The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has launched the Project Ensemble sandbox, focused on exploring real-world asset tokenisation and interbank settlement using wCBDC. 

 

According to the announcement, the HKMA explained that the project aims to investigate the technical interoperability among tokenised assets, tokenised deposits, and a wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC). The project will target four key areas: fixed income and investment funds, liquidity management, green and sustainable finance, and trade and supply chain finance.
