HSBC has conducted experiments across a range of public distributed ledger technology (DLT) environments—including Arbitrum, Ethereum, Linea, and Polygon—as well as on a private DLT developed by HSBC on Hyperledger Besu. These outcomes will support the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the industry in exploring how innovative digital currencies can create value for the public in Hong Kong.

The tests focused on the application of digital currency within distributed ledger technology (DLT) environments, privacy and security design, as well as the scalability of public and private blockchains. A concurrent survey of over 700 participants showed that 90% of respondents value the privacy of e-HKD transactions, and about one-third are willing to use the digital Hong Kong dollar for digital asset transactions. HSBC has conducted experiments on multiple public blockchains such as Arbitrum and Ethereum, as well as its own private chains, and has launched Hong Kong’s first bank-led blockchain settlement service—tokenized deposit services. As the largest note-issuing bank in Hong Kong, HSBC has pledged to continue supporting the development of digital currency in Hong Kong, with more research findings to be released within the year.
