DigiFT, Chainlink, and UBS Launch Hong Kong Pilot to Automate Tokenized Fund Operations

The pilot aims to replace manual fund workflows with compliant smart-contract automation to cut errors and costs.

Overview

  • Selected under Hong Kong’s Cyberport Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme, the project qualifies for up to 80% cost coverage with a HK$500,000 cap.
  • Investors place orders through DigiFT’s regulated smart contracts, Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent processes issuance and redemptions on-chain, and UBS supplies tokenized products via UBS Tokenize.
  • Chainlink says the DTA framework is blockchain-agnostic, enabling the same automated process to run across multiple networks without losing compliance or functionality.
  • DigiFT, licensed in Hong Kong and Singapore, is validating the infrastructure and has begun stress-testing to prepare for a regulated rollout.
  • Market coverage reported Chainlink’s LINK rising about 2.5% to above $24 following the announcement.
