HKMA 推出 Project Ensemble Sandbox 以推動代幣化採用

香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 正式啟動 Project Ensemble Sandbox，這是一項旨在加速金融領域代幣化採用的關鍵舉措

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has unveiled the next phase of its Project Ensemble initiative with the launch of the Project Ensemble Sandbox. This sandbox will serve as a testing ground for tokenisation use cases, focusing on interbank settlements using experimental tokenised money, particularly in the context of transactions involving tokenised assets.

香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 推出了 Project Ensemble 沙盒，推出了 Project Ensemble 計畫的下一階段。該沙箱將作為代幣化用例的測試場，重點關注使用實驗性代幣化貨幣的銀行間結算，特別是在涉及代幣化資產的交易中。

The initiative is designed to accelerate the adoption of tokenisation in the financial sector. Several banks from the Project Ensemble Architecture Community have participated by integrating their tokenised deposit platforms into the sandbox. This integration will enable experiments for both payment-versus-payment and delivery-versus-payment settlements.

該計劃旨在加速金融領域代幣化的採用。來自 Project Ensemble Architecture 社群的幾家銀行已參與其中，將其代幣化存款平台整合到沙箱中。這種整合將使支付與支付和貨到付款結算實驗成為可能。

The sandbox will initially concentrate on four key themes: fixed income and investment funds, liquidity management, green and sustainable finance, and trade and supply chain finance. The project is part of the HKMA’s broader strategy to support Hong Kong’s status as an international financial hub and foster innovation to create new economic sectors.

沙盒最初將集中於四個關鍵主題：固定收益和投資基金、流動性管理、綠色和永續金融以及貿易和供應鏈金融。該計畫是金管局更廣泛策略的一部分，旨在支持香港作為國際金融中心的地位並促進創新以創造新的經濟領域。

To ensure the sustainable development of the tokenised asset market, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will collaborate closely with the HKMA to establish a regulatory framework that supports the growth of the tokenised asset market and promotes wider adoption within the asset management industry, ultimately enhancing Hong Kong’s position as a premier centre for asset and wealth management.

為確保代幣化資產市場的可持續發展，證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）將與金管局密切合作，建立一個支持代幣化資產市場發展並促進資產管理行業更廣泛採用的監管框架，最終鞏固香港作為資產及財富管理首要中心的地位。

On an international level, the HKMA will collaborate with the BIS Innovation Hub Hong Kong Centre and engage the CBDC Expert Group to leverage their expertise, further advancing the sandbox initiative.

在國際層面，金管局將與 BIS 創新中心香港中心合作，並聘請 CBDC 專家小組利用其專業知識，進一步推進沙盒計畫。

Mr. Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA, said, “The introduction of the Project Ensemble Sandbox to test tokenisation use cases marks a significant step forward for the HKMA and the industry to explore the application of tokenisation in real-life business scenarios. Since the launch of Project Ensemble in March, we have been encouraged by the strong interest from the industry in pioneering innovative solutions to redefine the digital finance landscape. The HKMA looks forward to collaborating with the SFC, other central banking institutions, academia, and all relevant industry participants to further drive innovation and progress in the Hong Kong tokenisation market.”

金管局總裁餘偉文先生表示：「引入Project Ensemble Sandbox來測試代幣化用例，標誌著金管局和業界在探索代幣化在現實商業場景中的應用方面邁出了重要一步。自 3 月推出 Project Ensemble 以來，業界對開拓創新解決方案以重新定義數位金融格局的濃厚興趣讓我們深受鼓舞。金管局期待與證監會、其他中央銀行機構、學術界以及所有相關行業參與者合作，進一步推動香港代幣化市場的創新和進步。

Ms. Julia Leung, Chief Executive Officer of the SFC, said, “The Sandbox launch today is a clear example of how innovation and regulation can go hand in hand to blaze a new path for our financial markets. As two major architects of Hong Kong’s financial markets, the SFC and the HKMA share the same vision and dedication to future-proofing the city’s financial system through innovative market infrastructure.”

證監會行政總裁梁鳳儀女士表示：「今天推出的沙盒是創新與監管如何齊頭並進，為金融市場開闢新道路的明顯例子。作為香港金融市場的兩大締造者，證監會和金管局有著相同的願景和決心，致力於透過創新的市場基礎設施​​建設面向未來的香港金融體系。
