The firm is also involved in the Hong Kong central bank-led digital asset project.\\n“We will continue to enable interoperability in global money movement together with our partners, so businesses can access more transparent, secure and efficient cross-border payments,” said Li.\\n ### 相关股票 - [HSBC (HSBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HSBC.US.md) - [HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/00005.HK.md) - [ANT GROUP (688688.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/688688.CN.md) - [HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.UK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HSBA.UK.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [HSBC Issues $130 Million in Debt](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280941314.md) - [HSBC Confirms Updated Voting Rights and Share Capital Structure](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281101293.md) - [HSBC Grants Share Awards to Employees Under Incentive Scheme](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281523170.md) - [VisionWave Wins Latin American Public Safety Drone Order](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281533708.md) - [HSBC Starts Minimax Group at Hold With HK$1,000 Price Target](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281501067.md)
