Hong Kong's Monetary Authority (HKMA) has unveiled a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, set to take effect on August 1. The new regime mandates full licensing for issuers, with stringent guidelines covering operational supervision and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

Secretary for the Treasury and Financial Services Christopher Hui hinted at potential licensing for a Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoin, signaling the city's push to formalize its digital asset ecosystem. The HKMA's published documents include detailed supervisory and AML guidelines, marking a pivotal step in institutionalizing stablecoin adoption.
