FORMS HK, Chainlink, APEX, CSpro, and Blockchain Valley@Cyberport Launch Tokenized Securities Framework (TSF) To Bring Hong Kong Capital Markets On-Chain

A Digital Financial Market Infrastructure and Market Adoption Ecosystem for Tokenized Securities, facilitating the issuance, distribution, and settlement of tokenized securities

HONG KONG, August 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FORMS Syntron Information (HK) Limited (“FORMS HK”), together with Chainlink, APEX Group, and CSpro, today announced the launch of Tokenized Securities Framework (TSF) under the Blockchain Valley@Cyberport ecosystem initiative — a digital financial market infrastructure and market adoption ecosystem for tokenized securities, enabling the issuance, distribution, and settlement of tokenized securities within Hong Kong's regulatory environment. For more information, please visit - https://www.tsf.hk

Building upon the broader Blockchain Valley@Cyberport initiative jointly launched by FORMS HK and Cyberport in 2025, TSF brings together financial institutions, technology providers, regulated intermediaries, and market participants to support the development of Hong Kong's next-generation digital capital markets.

TSF establishes an integrated infrastructure layer connecting robust technology systems, regulated distribution channels, asset servicing capabilities, settlement frameworks, and ecosystem participants — enabling institutional adoption of tokenized securities within a coordinated digital capital markets environment.


MARKET CONTEXT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

The launch of TSF comes amid accelerating global adoption of tokenized financial instruments and the continued evolution of regulatory frameworks governing digital assets and financial markets. Hong Kong has positioned itself as a leading jurisdiction for regulated digital asset development, with clear policy direction and established legal and regulatory foundations. TSF translates these advantages into an operational digital financial market infrastructure, aligning tokenized securities with the existing regulatory frameworks while enabling innovation within a controlled and compliant environment.

TSF also reflects the continued evolution of the Blockchain Valley@Cyberport initiative, jointly launched by FORMS HK and Cyberport to foster collaboration, innovation, and real-world adoption across blockchain, Web3, digital assets, and next-generation financial market infrastructure. Through this ecosystem-driven approach, TSF represents one of the initiatives supporting Hong Kong's vision to become a leading global hub for digital assets and tokenized real-world assets.

By integrating both asset and settlement ecosystems within a unified architecture, TSF supports a more efficient, connected, and scalable capital markets infrastructure. It reflects the convergence of regulated securities markets, emerging digital money systems, and global technology capabilities — positioning Hong Kong as a premier global hub for digital assets.


A DIGITAL FINANCIAL MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TOKENIZED SECURITIES

TSF operates as a digital financial market infrastructure, standardising the full lifecycle of Tokenized Securities Offering (“TSO”), from structuring and issuance through distribution, settlement, servicing, and ongoing operations, within a regulated and extensible framework.

The framework initially adopts the ERC‑3643 token standard to embed compliance controls directly within the asset layer, enabling permissioned participation aligned with regulatory requirements. It remains technology-agnostic, allowing integration with multiple blockchain protocols and evolving market infrastructures.

At its core, TSF bridges digital asset environments with regulated financial systems, integrating tokenized securities with emerging digital money infrastructure — including tokenized deposits and bank-based settlement mechanisms — to enable Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) processes aligned with institutional standards.


TS CONNECT - EXECUTION AND ACCESS LAYER

TS Connect serves as the execution, distribution, and interaction layer of TSF, enabling investor onboarding, distribution, workflow orchestration, and ongoing participant engagement across issuers, intermediaries, investors, and ecosystem partners.

Operating through structured and compliant channels, TS Connect facilitates capital formation while providing professional investors with transparent, institutionally aligned access to tokenized securities. It also supports deployment through sandbox environments and pilot transactions, enabling validation, interoperability testing, and integration across financial systems.


INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES ACROSS THE VALUE CHAIN

The TSF framework is supported by a collaboration of institutions providing complementary capabilities across financial, technological, and operational layers:

● FORMS HK — Infrastructure orchestration and banking system integration, ensuring connectivity with traditional financial systems and regulated settlement processes

● Chainlink — Industry-standard oracle platform unlocking secure cross-chain interoperability via its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), and policy enforcement and identity management through the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), to enable secure and compliant connectivity between onchain and offchain environments

● APEX Group — Tokenization enablement and asset servicing, supporting institutional structuring, administration, and lifecycle management

● CSpro — Asset origination and market enablement, supporting compliant asset onboarding, investor access, and distribution through licensed intermediaries within Hong Kong's regulatory framework

● Blockchain Valley@Cyberport — Collaborative ecosystem platform jointly established by FORMS HK and Cyberport, supporting innovation, industry collaboration, ecosystem development, and real-world adoption of blockchain and digital asset technologies

Together, these capabilities establish a coordinated operating model and market adoption ecosystem for institutional tokenized securities within a regulated financial system.


DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD DEPLOYMENT

TSF is designed for practical implementation within existing financial markets. By aligning infrastructure, operational workflows, and the regulatory requirements, it enables scalable capital formation without requiring market participants to replace core systems.

The framework supports controlled deployment through sandbox environments, pilot transactions, and interoperability testing — providing a structured path for integration and adoption.

As an open and extensible adoption ecosystem, TSF connects financial institutions, asset owners, technology providers, regulated intermediaries, and professional investors, fostering collaboration, market participation, and ecosystem growth while supporting market development, operational standardisation, and broader adoption of tokenized securities in regulated markets.
