Ant Group is making big moves! Will compliant stablecoins overturn the global payment market?
Brothers, the financial world is in chaos! Ant International just officially announced its application for a Hong Kong stablecoin license. This is no small matter—it's entering the market with a trillion-dollar cross-border payment business, directly upgrading stablecoins from crypto toys to financial weapons of mass destruction!
Why do I say this is a historic turning point?
In the past, stablecoins were primarily played by 'crypto natives' like Tether and Circle. Now, with giants like Ant Group bringing in 1.3 billion users, it's like giving the industry an 'official certification' stamp! Last year, Ant's blockchain platform Whale processed $1 trillion in transactions. If all of that were settled in stablecoins, transaction fees could be slashed from 3% to nearly zero, and cross-border remittances would arrive instantly, making it a lifeline for small and medium-sized enterprises!
What is the market going crazy about?
As soon as the news broke, Hong Kong stocks went crazy! Yunfeng Financial surged 98% during trading, and retail investors stayed up all night researching 'stablecoin concept stocks'. But don’t just watch the excitement; the entry of giants means a major reshuffle in the industry—Hong Kong's licensing threshold is 25 million HKD plus 100% reserve, and small players simply can’t afford to play! Companies like JD and Standard Chartered, which have already positioned themselves early, are testing cross-border payments in a sandbox. Ordinary people may be able to use HKD stablecoins to settle overseas purchases through Alipay as early as next year, with the exchange rate difference dropping to zero!
What is the risk I’m most worried about?
Monopoly by giants! If Ant Group and JD occupy half of the stablecoin market, the DeFi ecosystem will have to watch their faces. But on the flip side, Hong Kong's regulation is very smart—providing a green light for innovation while strictly preventing money laundering. A big shot from the Zhejiang Blockchain Association said it will take another 2-3 years for full implementation, but once the offshore RMB stablecoin pilot starts, the dominance of the dollar will really shake!
This wave of stablecoins led by Ant Group might be the last chance for ordinary people to make a comeback! Click on my profile picture, and tonight I'll teach you step by step how to position yourself in compliant crypto assets—don't miss out, or you'll have to wait three years! #蚂蚁稳定币 $BTC
