Hong Kong Monetary Authority: Companies selected for the Digital Hong Kong Dollar Pilot Scheme will not use the scheme to raise funds from the public

Hong Kong Monetary Authority has received public inquiries about companies falsely claiming to have been selected for the "Digital Currency Harbour" pilot scheme and promoting digital currency harbour products to attract public investment. The Monetary Authority reminds citizens that all companies selected for the "Digital Currency Harbour" pilot scheme will be publicly announced by the Monetary Authority. The Monetary Authority also strongly emphasizes that all selected companies for the "Digital Currency Harbour" pilot scheme and other institutions participating in the Monetary Authority's "sandbox" scheme will not raise funds from the public or provide any investment products in the name of the relevant scheme.
