As the tokenized yield-bearing cash solution space’s No.1 player Ondo Finance’s AUM surged past $464 million this week, the thought of a path towards broader adoption in this nascent but highly important space came to the forefront of my mind.
The space that the tokenized yield-bearing cash solution is currently addressing mostly has to do with stablecoin capital that is already onchain. There are already $160 billion of these but the size of the market outside of crypto is much larger. So what are some broader application examples that apply to the non crypto native capital bases?
This week I came across an interesting case study done by PwC HK, Arta TechFin and Emali that uses the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) e-HKD (tokenized HKD) to provide a better cash management solution for mainstream retail banking customers.
In this week’s newsletter I distil the 34 pages report to look at:
The Problem: low balance retail banking customers’ inability to access higher yielding money market fund products for cash managment
The Solution: leverage tokenized HKD and blockchain based MMF product to help them get more flexible and better cash management solution
The Result: key takeaways for tokenized investment products and their future
Let’s dive in.
