Finloop & Marketnode join to link tokenised products

Finloop and Marketnode have formed a strategic partnership to expand cross-border access to tokenised financial products in Hong Kong and Singapore, linking two of Asia's financial centres.

They will work together on product access, asset tokenisation and market intelligence in both markets. The arrangement is aimed at institutional clients, particularly in wealth management, and covers fixed-income products, funds, structured products, and commodity-backed products.

Under the partnership, Marketnode will support Finloop's expansion of access to financial products in Singapore, while Finloop will provide reciprocal support for Marketnode in Hong Kong. The two groups also plan to use their infrastructure in both jurisdictions to create what they described as a compliant, interconnected ecosystem for digital assets and tokenised real-world assets.

A third area of cooperation will focus on sharing regional market insights, product suitability assessments and regulatory developments to support product development and improve decision-making efficiency.

Marketnode is a digital market infrastructure operator backed by Euroclear, HSBC, SGX Group and Temasek. Its business spans data services, transaction management, tokenisation and distribution support, with a focus on credit, funds and structured products.

Hong Kong-based Finloop provides wealth technology products and services to institutional clients. Its offerings include cash management, public and private funds, structured products, bonds, insurance, and virtual assets. It has also developed a platform to issue and distribute tokenised real-world asset products.

Regional link

The tie-up reflects growing efforts by financial firms in Asia to connect tokenised asset markets across jurisdictions while staying within regulatory frameworks. Hong Kong and Singapore have both emerged as key centres for digital asset development, with policymakers and market operators building infrastructure for tokenised versions of conventional financial products.

For Marketnode, the partnership extends its reach into Hong Kong through a local technology group with institutional coverage. For Finloop, it provides a route into Singapore through an infrastructure provider backed by established financial institutions and market operators.

The partnership's product shelf spans traditional and alternative instruments, including fixed-income products, funds, structured products, and commodity-backed products. These are areas where tokenisation has been promoted to broaden distribution and simplify handling across markets.

Executive comments

Cai Hua, Chief Executive Officer of Finloop, outlined the significance of the deal for the company's regional plans.

"This collaboration marks an important milestone in Finloop's expansion into the Singapore market. Marketnode's infrastructure capabilities and network will help us better serve institutional clients while accelerating the deployment of our technology solutions. We look forward to leveraging our complementary strengths to support the growth of compliant and scalable cross-border RWA and wealth management services," he said.

Rehan Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer of Marketnode, said the partnership is intended to improve the movement of tokenised products between markets and investor networks.

"Tokenised finance will scale only when products can move efficiently across markets, platforms and investor networks. Our partnership with Finloop strengthens that connective layer between Hong Kong and Singapore, combining product reach with trusted digital market infrastructure to give institutions expanded and more secure access to the next generation of financial products across Asia," Ahmed said.

The partnership adds to a broader push by market infrastructure providers and wealth technology firms to build frameworks for tokenised securities, funds and other assets in Asia. The focus on cross-border distribution suggests firms see growth potential not only in issuance, but also in the systems needed to move products between financial centres and into institutional portfolios.

Both companies said their collaboration would deepen links between the financial ecosystems of Hong Kong and Singapore while expanding digital asset and wealth management infrastructure in the region.
