Hong Kong Explores RMB-Backed Stablecoin Development with Central Government Support
Hong Kong's Legislative Council has signaled a strategic push into renminbi-backed stablecoins, seeking alignment with China's central government. The MOVE comes as state-owned giants like PetroChina and Bank of China express interest in issuing sovereign-linked stablecoins—a potential game-changer for cross-border digital finance.
The council's October special report frames stablecoins as part of a broader technological transformation in global finance, alongside cryptocurrency and Web3 innovations. This institutional embrace mirrors growing recognition of digital assets' role in modernizing financial infrastructure.
