BlockBeats News, November 19th, according to Bloomberg, HSBC Holdings Plc will begin offering tokenized deposit services to its corporate clients in the US and the United Arab Emirates in the first half of next year. Manish Kohli, Global Head of Payments and Receivables at HSBC Bank, stated that the tokenized deposit service will allow customers to achieve real-time, 24/7 domestic and cross-border fund transfers without being limited to business hours, helping large enterprises manage liquidity more efficiently.

HSBC Bank's tokenization service has already been launched in Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, and Luxembourg, with the bank currently supporting transactions in Euro, Pound Sterling, US Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, and Singapore Dollar.
