Hong Kong has embarked on a groundbreaking initiative, selecting Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to pilot its central bank digital currency (CBDC). This selection highlights the global financial hub’s commitment to innovation and exploring blockchain technologies for monetary policy. The pilot program, part of Hong Kong’s e-HKD+ initiative, aims to test seamless transfers of an e-Hongkong Dollar (e-HKD) between various blockchain platforms. 🤯 💰 🌎 By utilizing Chainlink CCIP, transactions seamlessly navigate from permissioned chains for compliance and privacy to public blockchains for transparency and reach, ultimately ending in the investor’s wallet as e-HKD.
