Regulating Market Order
Clarifying Entry Thresholds: The stablecoin regulation sets clear entry thresholds for stablecoin issuance, requiring stablecoin issuers to be licensed institutions and meet conditions such as full reserve and capital adequacy requirements. This ensures that only entities with corresponding strength and compliance capabilities can enter the market, reducing the issuance of non-compliant and high-risk stablecoins, avoiding market chaos caused by inferior products, and improving the overall market quality. Improving the Regulatory System: This regulation forms a synergistic effect with a series of previously implemented virtual asset regulatory policies. The complementary regulatory model of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission has been further strengthened, with the Monetary Authority focusing on financial stability and payment function regulation, while the Securities and Futures Commission is responsible for capital market and investor protection regulation. The implementation of stablecoin regulations fills the compliance gap in the funding end of the RWA financing chain, making the regulation of the virtual asset market more comprehensive and detailed, ensuring that all links have legal backing and safeguarding the orderly operation of the market.
Promoting Market Innovation and Development
Supporting RWA Ecosystem Expansion: Stablecoins, as 'bridge assets' connecting traditional finance and the crypto economy, play a key role in the RWA ecosystem. The implementation of the regulation provides a legal basis for the application of stablecoins in the RWA ecosystem, enabling smoother and safer flows of funds between the traditional financial system and the blockchain world. This is conducive to attracting more real-world assets for tokenization, promoting Hong Kong's advancement towards a global tokenized financial center, expanding the business boundaries and innovation space of the virtual asset market, and giving rise to more innovative financial products and services based on the combination of stablecoins and RWA. Stimulating Technological Experimentation and Application: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority promotes tokenization technology experimentation through the Ensemble sandbox. After the implementation of the stablecoin regulation, under the framework of compliance, more market participants will be more confident in investing in technological research and application exploration related to stablecoins, including enhancing the stability technology of stablecoins and optimizing smart contracts that interact with RWA, thereby driving technological progress in the entire virtual asset market.
Enhancing Investor Confidence
Safeguarding Investor Rights: By standardizing the issuance and trading of stablecoins, the probability of investors suffering losses due to significant price fluctuations of stablecoins, fraud by issuers, and other risks is reduced. Clear regulatory requirements ensure that stablecoin issuers must adhere to strict information disclosure and risk management regulations, allowing investors to obtain more accurate and transparent market information, thereby making more rational investment decisions and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. Attracting Capital Inflows: The regulation of market order and the protection of investors' rights will make the Hong Kong virtual asset market more attractive in the eyes of global investors. For those investors who were originally cautious about the Hong Kong virtual asset market due to risk concerns, the implementation of the regulations will enhance their confidence, prompting more institutions and individual investors to invest in the Hong Kong virtual asset market, bringing more liquidity and vitality to the market.
Enhancing International Influence
Establishing Regulatory Benchmarks: The Hong Kong (Stablecoin Regulation) reflects the regulatory philosophy of 'prioritizing the system and seeking progress while maintaining stability', effectively controlling risks while ensuring market innovation. This regulatory model serves as a reference for other regions worldwide in the regulation of virtual assets, helping to enhance Hong Kong's discourse power and influence in the global virtual asset regulatory field, making Hong Kong a demonstration area for virtual asset regulation. Attracting Global Resources: A more complete regulatory environment and a more vibrant market will attract virtual asset-related enterprises, talents, technologies, and other resources from around the world to gather in Hong Kong. Whether it’s stablecoin issuers, RWA project parties, or blockchain technology developers, financial professionals, etc., they may choose to settle here due to Hong Kong's favorable market environment, further consolidating Hong Kong’s position as an international financial center and promoting its more significant role in the global virtual asset market.
