Government of HKSARHK
In February 2023 the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued an HK$800 million tokenised green bond — described at the time as the first tokenised green bond issued by a government globally. The bond was priced on 15 February and settled on 16 February (T+1) on Goldman Sachs' tokenisation platform (GS DAP), integrated with the HKMA's Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU).
The one-year bond carried a coupon of 4.05% and was placed with institutional investors. It served as a proof-of-concept for digitally native issuance under Hong Kong's regulatory framework, covering the full lifecycle on-chain including issuance, settlement, coupon payment and redemption.
