Hong Kong is using the 'regulatory sandbox' as a springboard to transform into the 'Eastern Wall Street' for stablecoins. The Monetary Authority is accelerating license issuance, which may trigger a new wave of 'Harbor Wave' in crypto finance!
Core Interpretation:
The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Paul Chan, recently made it clear that after the 'Stablecoin Ordinance' takes effect on August 1, the Monetary Authority will 'quickly' process license applications. In simple terms, this means Hong Kong is issuing 'ID cards' for stablecoins—compliant players will have licenses, while non-compliant projects will be eliminated.
Personal Opinion:
Regulatory Logic: Stability and Profitability are Both Important
Hong Kong's stablecoin framework is considered one of the 'most open' globally: it allows pegging to multiple fiat currencies while requiring issuers to prove 'real demand.'
This not only attracts international capital but also prevents a single dollar stablecoin from monopolizing the market, which is essentially 'having the cake and eating it too.'
Market Opportunity: Giants Competing, Hidden Gems in Hong Kong Stocks
Ant Group and JD Coin Chain are already at the forefront of applications, and Standard Chartered Bank has even partnered with telecom companies to create a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin. Don't just look at the issuing institutions; the underlying technology service providers and compliant trading platforms are the 'shovel sellers,' and these Hong Kong stock targets have recently surged over 10%.
Potential Risks: Don't Treat 'Stability' as a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card
Referencing the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank collapse that led to USDC losing its peg, while Hong Kong requires reserve assets to be audited monthly, if the pegged assets themselves collapse, stablecoins will still fail. Furthermore, technical vulnerabilities and cross-border accountability remain hidden dangers.
