Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has denied rumors regarding the issuance of the world's first offshore yuan-pegged stablecoin in Hong Kong, labeling them as false and urging vigilance among investors [1][2]. Regulatory Framework - The Stablecoin Ordinance, effective from August 1, mandates that any company wishing to issue a stablecoin in Hong Kong must obtain an official license from the HKMA [3]. - Issuers of "referenced stablecoins" are required to comply with strict operational and transparency standards before market offerings [3][4]. Current Market Status - As of now, no licenses have been granted for the issuance of yuan-pegged stablecoins, making any claims of such activities misleading and illegal under the new regulatory framework [4][6]. - The HKMA is actively monitoring trading activities related to stablecoins and will enforce penalties against violations of the ordinance [5]. Public Awareness and Compliance - The HKMA encourages the public to verify information through its official website, which maintains a public register of licensed stablecoin issuers [7]. - Misleading promotions not only misrepresent the regulator's position but also pose risks of significant financial losses to investors [8].
