HKMA announced that Ensemble TX has entered a new phase, using tokenized central bank money to support 24/7 instant settlement of interbank tokenized deposits, with participating banks increasing to 12 and industry pioneers to 20. Launched in November 2025, Ensemble TX initially processed related settlements through the Hong Kong dollar Real Time Gross Settlement system. It will now support transactions outside traditional operating hours and explore applications including corporate treasury management and secondary-market trading of tokenized funds.
Ensemble TX is expanding participation while supporting 24/7 interbank settlement, providing a more complete infrastructure pathway for tokenized deposits, corporate treasury management, and tokenized fund trading.
