DigiFT, Chainlink, and UBS Forge Game-Changing Partnership to Automate Tokenized Funds in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's digital asset landscape just got a major automation upgrade—and traditional finance should be watching closely.

Three giants—DigiFT, Chainlink, and UBS—are joining forces to bring seamless, automated tokenized fund operations to one of Asia's most dynamic financial hubs.

Why This Matters

Tokenization isn't just a buzzword anymore. It's becoming the backbone of modern finance—faster, more transparent, and infinitely more efficient. This partnership signals that institutional players are finally moving beyond experimentation and into execution.

Chainlink’s oracle technology will serve as the critical bridge between off-chain fund data and on-chain execution, ensuring real-time accuracy and reliability. UBS brings heavyweight credibility and deep market reach, while DigiFT anchors the initiative with its regulated exchange infrastructure.

No more manual reconciliation, no more settlement delays—just streamlined, automated processes that cut costs and reduce operational risk.

A Nod to the Skeptics

Sure, Wall Street veterans might roll their eyes and say, “We’ve heard this before.” But this time, it’s different. Real players, real infrastructure, and a real regulatory framework—Hong Kong’s progressive stance on digital assets sets the stage for something legit.

Still, let’s be real—if there’s one thing finance loves more than innovation, it’s fees. Let's see how long it takes before the old guard finds a way to charge for “automation convenience.”

Bottom line: This isn’t just another pilot. It’s a signal—tokenization is here, and it’s moving fast.

How It Works?

Investors will place subscription or redemption orders for UBS’s tokenized funds using DigiFT’s regulated smart contracts. These will be processed through Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent contracts. It will automatically trigger fund actions like issuance or redemption on UBS’s smart contracts. All of this is recorded on-chain under recognized global standards.

DigiFT’s founder Henry Zhang said, “Through this project, we are combining institutional partners, regulated infrastructure, and blockchain technology to build the next chapter of tokenized fund distribution.”

Chainlink’s Capital Markets President Fernando Vazquez added that this is a “major milestone” for automating fund issuance and lifecycle management. He noted the project sets a benchmark for secure, transparent fund workflows in Hong Kong’s capital markets.

Global Impact

The project strengthens Hong Kong’s image as a hub for regulated digital assets. DigiFT’s Hong Kong CEO, Kevin Loo, highlighted, “By working alongside UBS and Chainlink, we are creating solutions that not only meet institutional standards but also strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a global hub for tokenized finance.”

Chainlink’s framework also means these tokenized products can connect across different blockchains, making them scalable worldwide. DigiFT will help validate and test the system to ensure it meets the needs of Hong Kong’s financial institutions.
