$BTC $ETH $RAVE The world’s first shot! Hong Kong officially opens its stablecoin—Standard Chartered and HSBC lead the way in “breaking the ice”
Hong Kong Monetary Authority—so badass! The world’s first batch of stablecoin licenses has been approved, and two licenses were issued at once; the recipients aren’t anyone else—it's Hong Kong’s two biggest money-changers: Standard Chartered and HSBC.
What does this mean? Three sentences to make it clear:
First, Hong Kong is back in the world financial center, back in the C position. This time it’s not relying on old strengths—it’s taking an early lead with stablecoins. While others are still watching from the sidelines, Hong Kong has already issued licenses.
Second, standing behind this isn’t just the Monetary Authority, but also the People’s Bank of China. In the global financial and currency game, in the end it comes down to who gets to call the shots with the settlement tool. The U.S. relies on aircraft carriers to protect the dollar; this time, Hong Kong is winning by moving first on the rules. In the era of blockchain and digital currencies, whoever gets the whole world to settle using your stablecoin first wins the first step.
Third, don’t think this is only a short-term hype. Stablecoins start by being pegged to fiat currencies—but in the future, will they “run wild,” just like how the dollar once broke away from the Bretton Woods system? That’s something we’ll see over decades. But whoever starts first has the biggest first-mover advantage.
And this is only the first batch. The second and third batches are already on the way. Standard Chartered and HSBC are just the opening act—more banks, more players, will rush into this track afterward. This isn’t a topic for just a few days; it’s a major financial trend spanning the next ten or twenty years.
In the next two weeks, you think there will be a lot of funds covertly rerouted—quietly flowing into Hong Kong, into stablecoins, into those players who hold licenses or are about to obtain them?
