Fintech Gets Another Boost from China as Standard Chartered Completes Cross-Blockchain Trade with Hong Kong

November 6, 2020 by Akash Anand

Blockchain solutions have taken the world by storm over the past couple of years with multiple integrations with several sectors. Organizations were not the only ones utilizing the technology as state governments have also taken a keen liking to the not-so-niche industry.

China is one of the major regions taking a deep dive into the technology with multiple areas testing out different versions of blockchain. Recently, Standard Chartered Bank announced the completion of a cross-block transaction between Hong Kong and China, marking a major step forward in the area.

The original transaction was conducted between the People’s Bank of China Trade Finance Platform in China and the eTradeConnect platform in Hong Kong. Earlier releases had pointed to the usage of the digital Yuan for this very same purpose but there was no mention about it in the latest move. China’s lean towards a digital yuan made massive headlines in 2019 as it made the first P5 country to adopt blockchain wholeheartedly.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority Executive Director Colin Pou claimed that the adoption of new technologies would make large scale transactions much more seamless and safer. He added:

“The Proof-of-Concept trial (PoC) that connects eTradeConnect and the PBCTFP aims to provide importers and exporters in both places with more convenient trade finance services.”

Standard Chartered’s experience in the blockchain industry can be traced back to the formation of the seven bank association testing cross border transactions. The other members who participated in the fund transfer were the ICBC, Bank of China, and Bank of Communications (including Hong Kong subsidiaries). China’s increased focus on the blockchain has also forced other countries to sit up and take notice of the newly burgeoning industry. The Red Dragon had previously conducted internal tests within Guangdong, Macau, and Hong Kong.

Hong Kong and China began work on blockchain solutions over a year ago while creating a framework for Central bank Digital Currency [CBDC]. The eTradeConnect partnership is operated by Chinese firm Oneconnect with the intention of scaling the blockchain usage. There are also plans to expand the platform utilities to regions such as Europe and the rest of the Asian market.
