HKMA 推出 Project Ensemble Sandbox 以推动代币化采用

香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 正式启动 Project Ensemble Sandbox，这是一项旨在加速金融领域代币化采用的关键举措

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 计划的下一阶段。该沙箱将作为代币化用例的测试场，重点关注使用实验性代币化货币的银行间结算，特别是在涉及代币化资产的交易中。

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.

该计划旨在加速金融领域代币化的采用。来自 Project Ensemble Architecture 社区的几家银行已参与其中，将其代币化存款平台集成到沙箱中。这种集成将使支付与支付和货到付款结算实验成为可能。

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.

沙盒最初将集中于四个关键主题：固定收益和投资基金、流动性管理、绿色和可持续金融以及贸易和供应链金融。该项目是金管局更广泛战略的一部分，旨在支持香港作为国际金融中心的地位并促进创新以创造新的经济领域。

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.

为确保代币化资产市场的可持续发展，证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）将与金管局密切合作，建立一个支持代币化资产市场发展并促进资产管理行业更广泛采用的监管框架，最终巩固香港作为资产及财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.

在国际层面，金管局将与 BIS 创新中心香港中心合作，并聘请 CBDC 专家组利用其专业知识，进一步推进沙盒计划。

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.”

金管局总裁余伟文先生表示：“引入Project Ensemble Sandbox来测试代币化用例，标志着金管局和业界在探索代币化在现实商业场景中的应用方面迈出了重要一步。自 3 月份推出 Project Ensemble 以来，业界对开拓创新解决方案以重新定义数字金融格局的浓厚兴趣让我们深受鼓舞。金管局期待与证监会、其他中央银行机构、学术界以及所有相关行业参与者合作，进一步推动香港代币化市场的创新和进步。”

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.”

证监会行政总裁梁凤仪女士表示：“今天推出的沙盒是创新与监管如何齐头并进，为金融市场开辟新道路的明显例子。作为香港金融市场的两大缔造者，证监会和金管局有着相同的愿景和决心，致力于通过创新的市场基础设施建设面向未来的香港金融体系。”
