CEO of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: It is necessary to thoroughly upgrade market infrastructure and integrate tokenization-related innovative projects
The CEO of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, Ashley Alder, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 EU-Asia Financial Services Dialogue organized by the Asia Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. She stated that Hong Kong must thoroughly upgrade its market infrastructure, particularly in the areas of financial product segmentation, clearing, and settlement. Distributed ledger technology and the development of tokenization provide a way forward, with the true value of tokenization lying in its programmable nature, which can support a wide range of investment products, including bonds, funds, and even gold.
As the tokenization ecosystem continues to grow, it is essential to effectively integrate related innovative projects, seamlessly combining market confidence in traditional finance with the efficiency of decentralized finance to further unlock liquidity.
Alder also revealed that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has co-led a working group under the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to combat online scams, and has participated in the establishment and coordination of standards in areas such as digital assets through information exchange with global peers.
