Insights

Fintech Partnerships Strategist

Selection as an EnsembleTX industry pioneer gives Solomon JFZ a practical path to test tokenized deposit and fund settlement use cases.

Solomon JFZ will use the HKMA’s EnsembleTX infrastructure to execute interbank transactions involving tokenized deposits and tokenized fund subscriptions, moving from sandbox trials to real‑value settlement within a controlled pilot. This creates a direct business mechanism: participation validates operational integration with a central bank‑led ledger, demonstrates custody/settlement workflows, and positions the group to offer tokenized settlement services to banks and fund houses.

Outcomes depend on successful technical interoperability, counterparty participation, and regulatory guardrails as defined by the HKMA. Key operational risks include integration failures, settlement exceptions, and limits on transaction scope imposed by the pilot. The announcement cites past sandbox work since 2024 and aims to expand practical applications in 2026, indicating a staged deployment and proof points to evaluate.

Watch for concrete pilot milestones: transaction types enabled, measures of settlement finality and speed, and any HKMA disclosures on pilot results or scope changes. Expect meaningful readouts around pilot performance and broader roll‑out decisions by 2026.

Hong Kong, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (NASDAQ: AXG) (“Solowin” or the “Company”), a leading financial technology firm bridging traditional and digital assets, today announced that its subsidiary, Solomon JFZ (Asia) Holdings Limited (“Solomon JFZ”), has been selected by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (“HKMA”) as an industry pioneer in the pilot phase of Project Ensemble (Ensemble^TX), an initiative aiming to enable real-value transactions involving tokenized deposits and digital assets within a controlled pilot environment.

Solowin is listed in Annex B of Ensemble^TX, which names the participating industry pioneers. Other notable participants include Ant International, Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Limited, China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited, and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), among others.

Under Ensemble^TX, Solomon JFZ will collaborate with other leading institutions to facilitate interbank transactions involving tokenized deposits and tokenized fund subscriptions through the HKMA’s innovative blockchain-based infrastructure.

According to the HKMA, Ensemble^TX builds upon the successful outcomes of the Ensemble Sandbox experimentation. The pilot is designed to enable faster, more transparent, and more efficient settlement of real-value tokenized transactions. Its initial focus will be on empowering market participants to use tokenized deposits in tokenized money market fund transactions and to manage liquidity and treasury operations in real time. This milestone marks Hong Kong’s transition from proof-of-concept to real-value transaction applications in its rapidly evolving tokenization ecosystem.

Dr. Haokang Thomas Zhu, Director of Solowin, commented: “We are honored that our Hong Kong-based crypto-enabled brokerage, Solomon JFZ, has been selected to participate in Ensemble^TX, following our earlier participation in the sandbox phase of HKMA’s Project Ensemble. Since the project’s inception in 2024, we have worked closely with the HKMA, as well as various banks and fund houses, to advance sandbox trials. We have witnessed firsthand the tremendous potential of tokenized deposits in driving financial innovation, and we look forward to further expanding their practical applications, including in fund settlement, in 2026.”
