Hong Kong Moves Forward with Stablecoin Licensing

Published by
Qadir AK

The Hong Kong Legislative Council has passed the Stablecoin Bill, clearing the way for regulated stablecoin issuers. Starting later this year, institutions can apply to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to become licensed stablecoin providers. The new rules require stablecoins to be fully backed by legal tender, aiming to increase trust and security in the market. This move is expected to boost innovation while protecting investors in Hong Kong’s growing digital currency space.
