#HongKongIssueStablecoinLicenses — Hong Kong Sets the Standard for Safe Stablecoins
Hong Kong is moving fast to become a trusted hub for digital assets. Under the HKMA Stablecoins Ordinance (effective 1 August 2025), fiat-backed stablecoins like USD- or HKD-pegged coins are now fully regulated. Any issuer, marketer, or service provider must obtain a license to operate in Hong Kong.
Current Status (Feb 2026):
36 applications were submitted in 2025
No licenses issued yet
HKMA Chief Eddie Yue confirms reviews are in the final stage, with the first approvals expected in March 2026
Only a small number of issuers will meet the strict criteria initially
Why the Strict Approach?
HKMA prioritizes safety:
100% reserve backing with cash or high-quality assets
Easy redemption at full value
Strong AML and risk controls
Regular audits and clear reporting
No interest or yield on stablecoins
Market Impact:
Initially, liquidity will be limited
Over time, regulated stablecoins could maintain a very stable peg, attract institutional and cross-border payments, and boost trust and adoption in Hong Kong’s crypto market
Bottom Line:
Hong Kong is prioritizing safety over speed. As licenses roll out in March 2026, regulated stablecoins may become a trusted option for payments, trading, and tokenized assets. Watch the HKMA register for official approvals.
