In a Caixin interview, HSBC’s Sun Lei, Global Director of Local and Innovative Payment Products within Global Payment Solutions, said the bank has long prioritized developing tokenized deposit services.
Even with a scenario where only 5%–10% of traditional deposits are tokenized, Sun Lei suggested the resulting scale would exceed the size of today’s crypto markets.
HSBC’s private chain currently adheres to Ethereum-compatible specifications, including EVM and ERC-20 standards, while the bank remains open to public-chain architectures where user scenarios justify.
Regarding tokenized loans, HSBC is already engaging clients on programming applications and exploring how lending could be tokenized.
