[21 Finance: Hong Kong to Provide Guidelines Clarifying the Use of Distributed Ledger for Bondholder Registers] Odaily Planet Daily reports that to facilitate the adoption of tokenization technology in the bond market, Hong Kong plans to issue guidelines to clarify the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for maintaining bondholder registers. It will also explore the use of electronic signatures for issuing documents and promote the digitization of bearer bonds. Zeng Gang, Chief Expert and Director of the Shanghai Finance and Development Laboratory, believes this represents a key institutional breakthrough for Hong Kong in driving the deep integration of digital currency and traditional finance. Once the Hong Kong government provides the guidelines, the registration records on distributed ledgers will gain clear legal validity, effectively serving as a "language converter" between traditional financial infrastructure and digital asset protocol layers, enabling institutions to confidently deploy related technologies within a compliant framework.
