Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R. Sep 3, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - EX.IO, a leading SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platform (VATP) in Hong Kong, today announced that it is officially offering the Taikang Hong Kong HKD Money Market ETF (Unlisted Tokenised Class) and the Taikang Hong Kong USD Money Market ETF (Unlisted Tokenised Class). This marks the platform’s first offering of traditional financial products. It is also the first practical implementation of the permissions granted on 10 June 2026, when the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (the “SFC”) updated EX.IO’s licensing conditions to allow the offering of traditional investment products (including tokenised and non-tokenised securities). The move represents a major strategic upgrade — from a dedicated digital asset trading venue to a comprehensive asset services platform.
Since being approved by the SFC as a licensed VATP in December 2024, EX.IO has consistently put compliance first. It was among the first platforms authorised under Hong Kong’s current “deemed-to-be-licensed” regime, and remains the only virtual asset trading platform admitted into the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) framework. The platform has continued to advance Web2+3 financial innovation, deepen its compliance architecture, and set the pace among licensed peers. The June licence-condition update also covers independent custody of virtual assets and tokenised securities traded off-platform. Bringing these two traditional products from approval to offering in under three months again demonstrates EX.IO’s execution speed and product capability at the forefront of the licensed industry.
For EX.IO, this offering is a pivotal step in building a comprehensive, end-to-end Web2+3 platform. Investors can now allocate to both virtual assets and traditional financial products on a single compliant platform, opening a two-way channel between on-chain capital and high-quality traditional assets. For Web3-native investors, the two money market products are a practical on-chain cash-management tool: without leaving a familiar platform and ecosystem, they can readily access money market assets grounded in traditional financial credit, combining liquidity with the potential for steady returns — putting idle funds to work more efficiently, and potentially generating real incremental value.
A spokesperson for EX.IO said: “Offering our first traditional financial products is another important step in our mission to connect traditional finance with the Web3 ecosystem. Going forward, we will continue to take compliance as our foundation, select and introduce more high-quality traditional assets, and make it simpler and more secure for investors in the Web3 era to access the full spectrum of financial assets.”
The two products now offered on EX.IO’s RWA Market page (www.ex.io/rwa-market) are sub-funds of the Taikang Hong Kong ETF Series, managed by Taikang Asset Management (Hong Kong) Company Limited. They are SFC-authorised, actively managed money market ETFs that invest primarily in short-term deposits and high-quality money market instruments denominated and settled in Hong Kong dollars and US dollars respectively, with the aim of achieving returns in line with prevailing money market rates. The products may be offered to retail investors, with daily subscription and redemption. Minimum subscription amounts are only HKD 100 and USD 100 respectively, combining flexibility with ease of access.
