The Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) plans to introduce a platform for the creation and redemption of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) in 2025, utilizing distributed ledger technology and smart contracts, subject to regulatory approval. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and invigorate the secondary market. Jean-Francois Mesnard-Sense stated that speed and efficiency are crucial in a dynamic market. The new platform will streamline market operations, enhance product liquidity, and solidify Hong Kong's status as an international financial center. Although 'real-time' functionality has not been mentioned, the automated platform could theoretically support this feature. Technical details have yet to be disclosed, and further updates are anticipated! 🚀💼
