Hong Kong Enables Round-the-Clock Trading for Two Tokenised Money-Market Funds

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of a money-market fund like a savings account that a bank offers — it holds safe, short-term investments and pays modest returns. Normally, if you want to buy or sell shares in such a fund, you have to do it during business hours, much like visiting a bank branch. Tokenisation puts those fund shares onto a blockchain — a digital ledger that runs all the time — so trading can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, similar to how cryptocurrency markets never close. This matters because it shows that governments are starting to use blockchain technology not just for cryptocurrencies but also for everyday financial products, which could eventually make investing faster and more accessible for ordinary people.
