🚀 Hong Kong Legislative Council Reviews Stablecoin Regulation Bill

According to PANews, the Hong Kong Legislative Council's relevant bill committee recently conducted its first review of the Stablecoin Regulation Bill. The bill is expected to be passed and become law within a few months. Ho Siu-Kwong, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, stated that any issuance of stablecoins pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, whether in Hong Kong or abroad, will require a license. Licensed entities must maintain a robust reserve stabilization mechanism, ensuring that the reserve assets are composed of high-quality and highly liquid assets, with a total value at least equal to the circulating fiat stablecoin denomination at all times, and must be properly segregated and safeguarded.

Additionally, according to Howard Ho, Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (Monetary Management), some licensed stored value payment tool companies are currently participating in a sandbox trial for cross-border payments. However, stablecoins in Hong Kong are still in the sandbox testing phase, with hopes to expedite the process.
