The stability of AxCNH remains unverified, and traditional financial institutions are hesitant to adopt stablecoin settlements [3][4]. - The recent trading activity of several Hong Kong stocks linked to stablecoin concepts has raised concerns about speculative trading, as many of these stocks have small market capitalizations and concentrated ownership, leading to potential manipulation [4][6].
