Standard Chartered, Mastercard, Mox, And Libeara Complete Tokenisation Proof-of-Concept Pilot

Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (SCBHK) has collaborated with Mox Bank, Mastercard, and Libeara to complete a proof-of-concept (POC) pilot under the Fintech Supervisory Sandbox of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

The pilot focused on the tokenisation of deposits and carbon credits, aiming to enhance the settlement process of tokenised assets and contribute to developing the tokenisation market in Hong Kong.

This pilot, the first live test of the Mastercard Multi-Token Network (MTN), facilitated a transaction in which a Mox client purchased a tokenised carbon credit to offset personal carbon usage.

SCBHK used Libeara’s platform to tokenise the carbon credit and the client’s deposit, followed by an atomic swap between the two tokenised instruments.
