SC Ventures, the fintech investment and venture arm of banking group Standard Chartered, announced a new tokenization platform, Libeara, on Tuesday.

The platform will enable the creation of a tokenized Singapore dollar government bond fund for accredited investors, according to the announcement. Libeara has also partnered with FundBridge Capital, an organization for fund managers in Singapore.

"By partnering with Libeara to offer a tokenized Singapore dollar government bond fund for all our investors, we are ensuring that we can provide additional investment opportunities enabled by lower operating costs, higher transparency and higher operational efficiency,” Sue Lynn Lim, CEO and COO of FundBridge Capital said in the press statement.

Banks and other financial players are increasingly offering tokenized assets. HSBC said last week that it had recently introduced tokenized gold and that it planned to offer a tokenized securities custody service for institutions. Last month, Singapore, Japan, U.K. and Swiss regulators said they planned to conduct tokenization tests for asset management products.

Winning projects like FoundrAI demonstrate how generative AI is allowing developers to build market-ready products in just 48 hours.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

  • At the EasyA x Consensus Hong Kong 2026 hackathon, nearly 1,000 developers shifted focus from back-end infrastructure to user-facing applications, underscoring what organizers called the "Year of the Application Layer."
  • Winning projects emphasized automation, security and risk management, with tools like FoundrAI's autonomous "startup in a box," SentinelFi's real-time scam detection and PumpStop's non-custodial, risk-focused trading layer.
  • The hackathon's growing prominence on the main show floor and the emphasis on seamless UX, including passkey logins, reflect a broader industry push to attract the next wave of retail users despite a weak macro environment.
