Hong Kong Treasury Bureau's James Lau: Only a small number of stablecoin licenses will be issued in the first phase
BlockBeats News, July 13th: Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, stated in an interview that only a small number of stablecoin licenses would be issued in the first phase. As for whether a RMB-based stablecoin could be issued, Yue mentioned that there are no restrictions on the pegged currency; however, if it involves currencies from other regions, it may be necessary to consult with relevant institutions.
Yue emphasized that the government will take the lead in promoting stablecoin applications, especially focusing on cross-border payment scenarios to help developing countries cope with currency devaluation and financial system risks. He also revealed that Hong Kong will promote the tokenization of financial assets in the future. Following green bonds, the next step is expected to extend to the trading of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and he believes that commodity trading, such as metals, can also be explored for tokenized payments.
