The new regulatory framework of Hong Kong
The long -awaited HKMA regulatory scheme for Stablecoins comes into force this Friday, August 2. However, the central bank has not yet published its official register of approved issuers, the list being currently empty.
Professionals in the sector expect the first wave of approvals to be issued shortly after setting up the framework. He yifan, CEO of Red Date Technology, said ::
With the arrival of the Stablecoins regime in Hong Kong in August, everyone in China and Hong Kong talks about stablecoins. It will be very interesting and will involve new innovations and regulations for the crypto industry.
Among these innovations is a proposal aimed at allowing Stablecoin Kyc stable portfolios on public blockchains, using decentralized identifiers (DID) issued by the government to protect the privacy of users while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Warning before launch
JD Coinlink has published a warning on its official website inviting users to remain vigilant in the face of fraud. The company clarified that no jcoin or other stablecoin under its brand has yet been launched. This warning testifies to the growing interest in stablecoins before their official deployment, and highlights the need for clear and verified channels as the market heats up.
If JD.com obtains the approval of the HKMA, it will be one of the first large Chinese companies to issue a compliant stable, marking a potentially key moment in the push of the region to a regulated crypto adoption.
