7月23日，香港金管局总裁余伟文再次发文给稳定币降温。 余伟文表示，已经有数十家机构主动接触金管局团队表达对稳定币牌照的兴趣，但初期只会发放数个稳定币牌 照。余伟文还强调，争取在7月底正式发布《稳定币条例》下的监管和反洗钱两份指引，而金管局将于下周公 布"稳定币发行人发牌制度"的摘要说明，文件会阐述金管局接受和处理牌照申请的安排。 在文中，余伟文表示，稳定币作为新兴的支付工具，并通过监管而逐渐进入传统金融体系，有积极的意义，公 众对它的功能和发展前景感兴趣并有所期待非常正常。但他认为，近期市场和舆论的过度炒作值得关注。 一是过度概念化。余伟文认为，当前围绕稳定币的讨论容易集中于其对传统金融特别是支付体系的颠覆作用， 但是一旦要由虚入实，从概念和理论层面转到应用场景和具体安排，就出现明显落差。他以香港的经验为例， 至今已经有数十家机构主动接触金管局团队，有的明确表示有意申请稳定币牌照，有的属于初步探路性质。总 结这些接触发现，很多只停留在概念阶段，如提出要提升跨境支付效率、支持Web3.0发展、提升外汇市场效 率等愿景，但缺乏实际的应用场景，无法提出切实可行的具体方案和落实计划，更遑论具备管控风险的意识和 能力 ...
