Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry [34]. Core Insights - Stablecoins are closely linked to fiat currencies, with regulatory uncertainty being the most significant factor affecting their development across regions. Hong Kong has passed the "Stablecoin Ordinance" and is expected to implement it within the year, positioning itself at the forefront of the industry. Given its connection to the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong's stablecoin development is anticipated to rank among the world's leaders in the future [3][5][8]. Summary by Sections Definition and Regulation - The Hong Kong Legislative Council officially passed the "Stablecoin Ordinance" on May 21, 2025, providing a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. The ordinance is expected to come into effect within 2025. The regulatory definition of stablecoins in Hong Kong emphasizes usability, technology, and stability, requiring them to exist in encrypted form and be linked to a single or basket of assets [5][6]. Issuance and Profitability - Only licensed institutions are permitted to issue stablecoins, with specific qualifications including a minimum paid-up capital of 25 million HKD and approval from the Monetary Authority for key stakeholders. Issuers must maintain 100% reserve assets to support the stablecoins, ensuring independent custody and daily audits [6][7]. - Future profit sources for issuers are expected to include interest from reserve assets and transaction fees. The ordinance stipulates that issuers cannot pay interest, suggesting that reserve asset income may primarily benefit the issuers [7]. Market Outlook - The development of stablecoins is expected to accelerate in Hong Kong, driven by cost advantages and increasing transaction volumes. As of May 1, 2025, the total market size of stablecoins reached approximately 227.37 billion USD, with a year-on-year growth of 46.5%. The 30-day rolling transaction volume for stablecoins reached 2 trillion USD, surpassing traditional payment channels like Visa and PayPal [8][28]. - The report highlights that only about 10% of transaction volumes in Asia currently utilize stablecoins, indicating significant growth potential in the region, especially considering its population and economic status. The close relationship between stablecoins and fiat currencies, along with the recent legislative advancements in Hong Kong, positions the region for rapid development in the stablecoin sector [8].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current credit repair market is not over.

Institutions are increasing their purchases of 3 - 5 - year varieties, and the cost - effectiveness of the duration strategy continues to improve [3]. - From late May to early June, the credit bond market will still feature mainly structural opportunities. The strategy of extending duration for high - grade bonds combines safety and return potential [7]. - Although the pressure of wealth management products returning to the balance sheet at the end of June may cause a phased impact on credit bonds, the adjustment space is limited [10]. 3.

The market is transitioning from "grabbing short - end coupons" to "exploring spread depressions" [7]. - The central shift of the capital interest rate downwards consolidates the basis for credit bond carry trades. The stable carry space makes 1 - 3 - year and 3 - 5 - year credit bonds the preferred "core positions" for institutions [7]. - Medium - term varieties have both coupon advantages and resistance to interest rate fluctuations. There is a significant differentiation in spreads between small and medium - sized bank perpetual bonds and ordinary credit bonds, with potential for spread compression [8]. - The current credit bond repair market is ongoing.
