Hong Kong Monetary Authority's Deputy Chief Executive, Howard Lee, announced at the HSBC Investment Summit on April 15 that Hong Kong is simultaneously experimenting with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized deposits, and stablecoins. While the final form of future currency remains uncertain, Lee emphasized the importance of exploring all three avenues. He believes that trust will ultimately be anchored in sovereign central bank currencies. Lee highlighted that tokenized deposits could evolve as a form of commercial bank money, while stablecoins, backed by fiat currency, could facilitate adoption among younger generations. However, he stressed that the underlying trust must still rely on sovereign currency.
