EX.IO Joined the Hong Kong Monetary Authority EnsembleTX as an Industry Pioneer
(Hong Kong, November 2nd 2026) EX.IO, a leading digital asset trading platform in Hong Kong, is pleased to announce today that it has joined EnsembleTX as an Industry Pioneer, established by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and to participate in the EnsembleTX real-value transactions, working alongside regulators and fellow participating banks to contribute to commercialisation of tokenised deposits and tokenised asset, taking concrete action to support the development of Hong Kong’s tokenisation market.
Specifically, EX.IO will leverage its solid practical experience in compliant digital asset trading, secure custody and institutional-grade infrastructure — in particular its well-established track record in real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation — to conduct real-value transactions relating to tokenised deposit, and to provide comprehensive financial infrastructure support.
Hong Kong has been actively advancing the compliant development of digital assets in recent years, to enhance its competitiveness as an international digital asset hub. As a member of the regulated industry and a licensed platform based in Hong Kong, to join the HKMA’s EnsembleTX and to participate in the real-value transactions — taking part in this landmark initiative for the city’s digital finance development — also represents a broader recognition of the platform’s strength and experience, for which EX.IO is deeply honored.
Ms. Chen WU, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of EX.IO, said: “Tokenisation is reshaping the infrastructure of global financial markets, and Hong Kong stands at the forefront of this transformation. We are truly honored to participate in the HKMA’s EnsembleTX. This is not only a recognition of EX.IO’s compliant operations and technical capabilities, but also an opportunity for us to explore, together with regulators and industry leaders, the commercialisation of tokenised deposits and digital asset transactions. We will spare no effort in translating the successful experience we have accumulated in virtual asset trading and compliance into momentum that drives the establishment of industry standards and the realisation of innovative use cases — supporting Hong Kong in consolidating and enhancing its status as an international financial center, and strengthening its competitiveness as an international digital asset hub.”
Looking ahead, EX.IO looks forward to working closely with industry partners to provide suggestions and to promote the development of industry standards supporting interoperability among tokenised money and tokenised assets, assisting at the policy level and enabling the compliant industry to explore more practical tokenisation-related applications — including assisting the authorities in developing robust and effective industry standards and policies, promoting the healthy development of the tokenisation market and financial innovation, and building a secure, transparent and efficient all-round tokenisation ecosystem — thereby jointly reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading global digital finance hub.
