UK’s Kodelab to provide lending tech for HKMA CBDC pilot with Ripple and Fubon Bank

  • Ripple and Taiwan’s Fubon Bank choose UK consultancy Kodelab for CBDC pilot with HKMA
  • Pilot aims to integrate simulated CBDC and tokenized real estate in mortgage lending
  • HKMA follows a three-rail approach to digital currency development
  • Rail one establishes legal and technological frameworks for CBDCs
  • Rail two involves industry pilots and addresses design issues
  • Depending on progress, the two rails may merge, revealing a final issuance timeline
  • Kodelab’s technology enables “ultra-flexible credit” using real estate as collateral
  • Bank View product applied to the pilot, with Fubon Bank as administrator and HKMA as overseer
  • Kodelab experimented with two-tier indirect CBDC models to prevent mass capital flight from fiat accounts
  • Central bank issues digital currency, while distribution is facilitated through intermediaries
