Fubon Bank Explores Real Estate Tokenization
Hong Kong’s Fubon Bank is set to explore real estate tokenization using Ripple’s CBDC platform. The bank’s chief strategy officer and vice president, Xu Luosheng, revealed the news.
Slated for a third-quarter test, the program will see the conversion of Hong Kong dollars into digital test versions (eHKD) for issuing e-HKD loans to chosen customers. Furthermore, Ripple’s tech will facilitate the tokenization of property liens.

Ross Edwards, the head of Ripple’s CBDC initiative, clarified that the trial would not involve real funds. Still, it will employ the same technology behind the XRP Ledger (XRPL) – albeit in a private format.
