EX.IO expands tokenised securities, cementing real-world asset leadership

EX.IO, one of the leading Hong Kong-licensed virtual asset trading platforms, announced the offering of three new compliant tokenised securities products on its wealth channel.

The underlying assets include an actively managed bond fund, short-term liquidity notes, and US Treasury bills, managed respectively by Golden Continent Asset Management Co., Limited (GCAM), Cinda International Asset Management Limited (CIAM), and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY).

Notably, the product called TBILL offered in this round is launched by real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation platform OpenEden, which had previously established a strategic partnership with EX.IO - making this offering a tangible demonstration of their strategic cooperation being formally realised in Hong Kong.

With these additions, EX.IO has now offered the highest number of compliant tokenised securities products among all SFC-licensed digital asset exchanges in Hong Kong. This milestone marks a significant step in the platform's transition from an early mover to a clear leader in the RWA tokenisation space.

As one of the first virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong to pass the "deemed licensed" regime, EX.IO is also the only digital asset exchange group included in the Hong Kong Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) scheme. Benefiting from this supportive policy framework, the platform continues to actively contribute to the ecosystem by expanding its range of tokenised securities products — a clear demonstration of its commitment to regulatory alignment and innovation.

EX.IO has established a comprehensive end-to-end ecosystem covering asset screening, offering, primary distribution, secondary market circulation and investor services. By leveraging tokenisation, the platform enhances the liquidity and transparency of traditional assets.

Looking ahead, EX.IO plans to further broaden its product matrix. In the coming months, it expects to introduce additional tokenised securities with underlying assets spanning money market funds, equity funds, bonds, commodities, structured products and other high-quality, diversified categories. These offerings will cater to investors with varying risk appetites. The platform will also deepen collaborations with global institutional partners to advance on-chain financial infrastructure, providing professional investors with more open and compliant wealth management solutions.

The newly offered products are available exclusively to professional investors and have undergone rigorous compliance review and distribution processes by EX.IO. The three products are:

GNIT-LPF2 (Global nexus income tokenised LPF - class A unit series 2): An LPF fund issued under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's regulatory sandbox. Its underlying assets consist of a globally diversified actively managed bond portfolio, aiming to deliver stable long-term returns while mitigating single-currency interest rate risk.

STBL (Short-term asset-backed liquidity note): A tokenised note product pegged at $1. It automatically distributes interest income derived from collateral assets to token holders on a monthly basis. The issuer of STBL would rebalance the portfolio on a weekly basis to maintain structural integrity and return stability.

TBILL (Treasury Bills Institutional Liquidity Ltd): Operated in the form of a smart contract treasury, each token is 1:1 backed by short-term US Treasury bills held in segregated accounts. The product provides investors with a compliant, transparent, and stable channel to access US government debt within decentralised ecosystems.

Chen Wu, co-founder and CEO of EX.IO, said: "The offering of these three new products further strengthens EX.IO's product matrix in the compliant tokenisation space. With the rollout and adoption of Hong Kong's compliant stablecoins, we anticipate a surge in real-world asset use cases and traditional capital flowing on-chain. On-chain finance is evolving irresistibly toward atomic settlement and higher liquidity — a direction particularly well-suited for the future AI-driven economy and capable of generating exponential growth in trading volume.

"Moving forward, EX.IO will continue to leverage its regulatory leadership to bring more high-quality real-world assets on-chain. We aim to consolidate our differentiated advantages and contribute to strengthening Hong Kong's position as a global digital finance hub."
