HKEX set 14 December as the planned start for digital advance-margin payments in after-hours derivatives trading. Eligible HKFE Clearing Corporation participants will be able to submit requests from 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Hong Kong time for the corresponding session. The option supplements existing payment arrangements and helps participants manage capital-based position limits outside banking hours.
The launch follows June work by HKEX and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on possible wholesale e-HKD use. HKEX conducted real-value trial transactions with the authority, settlement banks and clearing participants before announcing the date. The exchange also plans to extend after-hours derivatives trading from March 2027.
