Collaborative efforts and CBDC adoption

This aligns with the broader trend of HSBC and Hang Seng intensifying their CBDC adoption plans, not only within Hong Kong but also on a global scale.

These developments mark a watershed moment in the integration of traditional banking institutions into the digital currency landscape, emphasizing the increasing importance of CBDCs in the evolving financial ecosystem.
