A report by Aptos Labs, Boston Consulting Group, and Hang Seng Bank reveals that retail investors in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland are keen to increase their fund allocations if tokenized products with features like faster settlement and 24/7 access are available. The survey, involving 500 retail investors, found that 61% would double their investments in such funds, with 97% expressing interest in instant settlement and transparency. Additionally, 71% indicated that 24/7 secondary trading would boost their investment likelihood. The report underscores the growing global interest in tokenization, with the tokenized real-world asset market reaching $23 billion, a 13% increase in the past month. It also notes that while tokenized funds are available in Hong Kong, they are mostly limited to subscriptions and redemptions, with secondary trading options still scarce. The findings suggest that as regulated stablecoins and tokenized deposits evolve, the demand for CBDCs in retail may be limited, highlighting the commercial appeal of token-based infrastructure.
