Ant International Launches Tokenised Deposit Solutions for Real-Time Treasury Management with HSBC
The company's Embedded Finance unit is expanding banking partnerships on tokenisation and AI-driven global liquidity management tools to maximize payment and treasury efficiency
HONG KONG, May 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ant International today announced its collaboration with HSBC on the bank's new Tokenised Deposit Service in Hong Kong. The service will support treasury management with real-time, always-on HKD and USD payments between corporate wallets held by a corporate client at HSBC Hong Kong. The Tokenised Deposit Service is also the first bank-led, blockchain-based settlement service in Hong Kong. The launch comes after a successful pilot test between HSBC and Ant International on Ant's Whale platform, which has been rolling out blockchain-based payments and tokenised deposits solutions with various bank partners.
Following the pilot test, HSBC adapted the learnings from the joint innovation into its Tokenised Deposit Service, with Ant International as the pioneer client. As the first client to utilise the Tokenised Deposit Service, Ant International has successfully completed an instant intra-group fund transfer via the service. It initiated the transaction via its internal global treasury management platform, the Whale platform, digitising its USD deposits with HSBC into digital tokens on the bank's secure distributed ledger.
One of the core products developed by the Platform Tech team under Ant International's Embedded Finance business, the Whale platform is a next-generation treasury management solution that utilises blockchain technology, including advanced encryption and AI, to improve the efficiency and transparency of funds transfer between Ant International's intragroup entities for real-time global treasury management. In 2024, more than a third of Ant International's transactions were processed on-chain via the Whale platform.
The Whale platform currently supports multiple tokenised assets from leading banks and institutions around the world, enabling interoperability across diverse blockchain networks. By leveraging leading DLT technologies such as homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs, the Whale platform encrypts transaction information and enables multi-party verification in an encrypted state, ensuring secure, confidential, and seamless cross-chain transactions.
Ant International's collaboration with HSBC on tokenised deposits expands a longstanding partnership since 2020. In October 2024, Ant International and HSBC also completed a successful HKD-denominated cross-bank experiment under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's Ensemble Sandbox.
"We are very excited to work with an industry leader like HSBC, who shares the belief that tokenisation is the key to bridging the stability of traditional banking with the efficiency of blockchain, to enable real-time treasury management," said Kelvin Li, General Manager of Platform Tech at Ant International. "As a tech connector in the fast-evolving financial services industry, our banking partnerships are expanding from tokenisation to AI-driven global FX and liquidity initiatives. We look forward to working with more public and private-sector partners to unlock more transparent, accessible and efficient treasury management solutions for businesses worldwide."

HSBC's Private Bank Turns Overweight US Stocks on AI Hopes
HSBC's private banking arm has gone overweight US stocks and neutral on those in Europe, flipping its view from earlier this year after a breezy round of earnings from US tech companies. The country's tech giants defied a recent sense of gloom on Wall Street to deliver first-quarter earnings that mostly showed strong growth despite President Donald Trump's disruptive trade policies. That cemented the private bank's enthusiasm for stocks that are likely to benefit from the artificial intelligence boom, according to Willem Sels, global chief investment officer at HSBC Global Private Banking and Premier Wealth.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Market Outlook 2025-2030: Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and Other Regulations Drives Adoption with Industry Registering 23.6% CAGR
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Market Dublin, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Market by Offering (SD-WAN, SSE), SD-WAN Offering (Software, Appliances), SSE Offering (Zero Trust Network Access, Cloud Access Security Broker, Secure Web Gateway, Firewall as a Service) - Global Forecast to 2030" report has been added to SASE market is estimated to be USD 15.52 billion in 2025 and reach USD 44.68 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 23.6%, from 2025 to 2030. Regulatory mandates such as GDPR, HIPAA, and others mandate are pushing organizations have in place measures for data access, usage, and protection. This involves having sensitive data available only to authenticated users, logging all access activity, and having detailed audit logs. SASE facilitates these compliance initiatives by offering a centralized platform that enforces uniform security policies on all users, locations, and devices. With built-in logging, data loss prevention (DLP), and identity-based access controls, SASE allows organizations to prove compliance, minimize the risk of a violation, and quickly respond to audits or an incident involving sensitive data. Zero Trust Network Access SSE Solutions to contribute the largest share of the SASE market during the forecast periodZTNA is a security architecture that enforces strong identity authentication and access controls before allowing users access to applications or data, whether they are remote or on-premises. In contrast to legacy VPNs, ZTNA adheres to the never trust, always verify principle, dynamically verifying user identity, device posture, and context with each access request. It employs safe, encrypted tunnels to connect users solely to the precise resources to which they have permission to connect, without exposing the wider network. ZTNA solutions are generally combined with identity providers, endpoint detection software, and policy engines to continually evaluate risk and enforce detailed, least-privilege access. This reduces the attack surface, stops lateral movement, and enhances visibility across user activity, and thus forms a central element of contemporary, cloud-native security designs. SD-WAN Appliances projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast periodSD-WAN appliances are physical or virtual devices that are installed at network edge locations like branch offices or data centers to direct and control traffic over various kinds of connections like MPLS, broadband, and LTE. These appliances facilitate smart path selection, application-aware routing, and centralized policy enforcement to enable businesses to optimize performance, minimize latency, and enhance reliability for mission-critical applications. They tend to include security functionalities like firewalls, encryption, and intrusion prevention, and enable secure and effective connectivity. SD-WAN appliances are also easier to deploy and scale, making them perfect for organizations with distributed operations. With features such as real-time analytics, automated failover, and cloud integration, the appliances provide efficient performance and seamless user experiences across the America projected to have the largest market share during the forecast periodThe SASE market in North America is growing rapidly, fueled by the increasing demand for cloud-based security technologies and the shift toward remote work.
