According to Odaily, Hong Kong's Financial Secretary recently met with Jeremy Allaire, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Circle Internet Financial, a stablecoin issuer. Financial Secretary Paul Chan highlighted the positive market response since the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government announced its policy statement on virtual asset development two years ago. Several digital asset and Web3 companies have established a presence in Hong Kong. The region is cautiously advancing the development of digital assets and is conducting a public consultation on stablecoin regulation to establish an appropriate regulatory framework. This initiative aims to promote responsible and sustainable growth in the industry. Hong Kong welcomes stablecoin companies based on legal tender to conduct business in the region, offering society more innovative and convenient financial service options.
