Hong Kong's CMU to launch 24/7 on-chain settlement with e-HKD and CBDC by year-end

  • CMU will offer 24/7 real-time on-chain settlement by end-2026
  • The platform will support e-HKD and central bank digital currencies
  • HKMA to study tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins for settlement
Why it matters: Hong Kong is embedding stablecoins and CBDC into state settlement infrastructure, signaling institutional demand for tokenized assets.
