Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2021 -- Digital currency is a hot topic in Hong Kong right now - and all across the globe. Since 2019, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has been working with Thai and Chinese central banks to make it easier to use digital currencies for cross border trade. A recent statement from HKMA, together with the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates and the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China revealed that the digital currency project for cross border payments - which was initiated from Hong Kong and Thailand - had now reached Phase II. The next phase for the project is to look deeper into the opportunities offered by distributed ledger technology and develop a proof-of-concept prototype that will make it possible to achieve real time cross border foreign exchange payment-versus-payment transactions using digital currency across multiple locations. This advance in digital currency looks closer than it has ever been.
