This partnership symbolizes the breakdown of barriers between traditional capital and emerging digital finance."

"Cheng’s involvement provides strong strategic backing for our global expansion and reflects growing confidence among Asian business leaders in the ‘traditional + digital’ financial model. Moving forward, with London and Hong Kong as dual hubs, CBCX will continue to integrate liquidity across asset classes, expand in areas such as cross-asset liquidity, index-based investments, digital wealth management, and tokenised financial products— building a full-spectrum digital financial ecosystem for institutional and individual investors," he added.
