Hong Kong Launches Third Blockchain Green Bond to Advance Sustainable Finance
Hong Kong is reinforcing its leadership in digital finance with the issuance of its third government-backed blockchain green bond. The bond, rated AA+ by S&P, will fund environmental and climate-related projects while leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced transparency and efficiency.
HSBC's blockchain infrastructure will facilitate issuance, recording, and settlement—bypassing traditional clearing systems. Multi-currency availability (USD, EUR, HKD, offshore yuan) broadens investor access to this secure instrument.
Since 2023, Hong Kong has systematically deployed blockchain bonds, signaling strategic commitment to merging sustainable finance with cutting-edge technology. "This accelerates our sustainable finance ecosystem," noted a government representative.
