A Programmable Value Highway for Hong Kong

OmniClearN

OmniClear Next, Powered by UNITS

Infin

A programmable network that regulates all forms of issuance of value and its lifecycle. CMU OmniClear manages the highway and operates managed lanes for most participants. Sophisticated participants get self-managed lanes with their own rules.

The Vision

Why OmniClearN?

Hong Kong operates two depositories: CCASS for equities and CMU for fixed income. Add Connect bridges, digital asset platforms, and now licensed stablecoins, and you have five or more siloed systems with separate identities, separate compliance, and separate settlement rails. The cost of this fragmentation runs into billions annually.

OmniClearN is the blueprint for what comes next: a programmable value highway where CMU OmniClear manages the highway and operates managed lanes for most participants, raising the quality and compliance standard for all. Sophisticated participants, whether a licensed stablecoin issuer like HSBC or a global custodian like Euroclear, get self-managed lanes with their own rules. This dual model is market forces in action. Built in partnership with Finternet Labs on the UNITS framework, it positions Hong Kong as the centre of Asia's programmable financial future.

Fragmented Today

Multiple siloed systems

  • CCASS for equities, CMU for bonds, separate digital platforms
  • T+2 settlement with reconciliation overhead
  • Each system has its own identity and compliance framework
  • Licensed stablecoins on yet another set of rails
  • Cross-border requires correspondent chains
  • No autonomous agent support; the "stack gap" widens

The OmniClearN Highway

One highway, infinite lanes

  • CCASS + CMU + stablecoins + digital assets unified on one network
  • Atomic T+0 DvP with no reconciliation needed
  • Shared identity plane, each lane has its own policy rules
  • Stablecoin issuers manage value in their own lane
  • Global corridors: ASEAN, Middle East, Africa, Europe
  • Agentic-native: agents compose, execute, and self-heal

Why "Bauhinia"

Five Petals, Five Dimensions

The Bauhinia x blakeana is Hong Kong's official flower, a hybrid species born of deliberate engineering, not natural evolution. Its five petals map to the five dimensions of OmniClearN.

Petal 1 of 5

Fixed Income + Equities

CMU + CCASS Unified

The first petal represents the unification of Hong Kong's two depositories. CMU (fixed income) and CCASS (equities) become managed lanes on a single programmable highway, eliminating the fragmentation that costs the industry billions annually.

"The Bauhinia x blakeana is a hybrid species, the product of deliberate engineering, not natural evolution. This makes it the perfect metaphor for OmniClearN: the deliberate engineering of a programmable network that bridges multiple financial systems under one unified infrastructure."

The Highway

A Highway with Infinite Lanes

OmniClearN is a Programmable Value Highway managed by CMU OmniClear. CMU operates managed lanes for most participants, raising the bar for all. Sophisticated participants get self-managed lanes with their own rules. All lanes share the highway's core infrastructure: identity, settlement, compliance, and cross-border connectivity.

Capabilities

Transformative Capabilities

From bond issuance to stablecoin lifecycle management, OmniClearN reimagines every workflow on the Programmable Value Highway.

Bond Issuance

End-to-end digital bond lifecycle from origination to maturity, with automated coupon payments and corporate actions via Token Programs (Pre-hook/State/Post-hook).

Collateral Highway

Real-time cross-border collateral mobilisation across Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and Middle East markets, eliminating overnight batch processing.

Atomic DvP

True T+0 delivery-versus-payment with atomic finality. No settlement risk, no reconciliation, no failed trades.

Stablecoin Lane

Licensed stablecoin issuers operate in their own lane. CMU provides tokenisation-as-a-service: identity, settlement, reserve verification, and compliance.

Multi-Asset Tokets

Equities, bonds, tokenised gold (LBMA), stablecoins, structured notes, fund units, and P-Tokets as native programmable tokets on one highway.

Policy-as-Code

Each lane has its own policy rules embedded at the protocol level. Regulatory compliance validated in real-time, pre-trade, not post-trade.

Agentic-Native FMI

Five autonomous agent personas (Settlement, Compliance, Collateral, Issuance, Reconciliation) orchestrate workflows and eliminate the 'stack gap'.
