According to Tencent News' "Periscope," the Vice President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Chen Weimin, stated that the timeline for issuing the second batch of licenses has not yet been determined, as it needs to be "based on the operational situation of the first two companies," and the total number of licenses in the future will be very limited.In addition, sources revealed that Chinese institutions that participated in the application submission have received "window guidance" from relevant departments, requesting them to postpone their participation in the stablecoin license application. However, some Chinese institutions have continued to communicate with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority over the past few months. After excluding Chinese institutions, the vast majority of the proposed applicants have limited capabilities, and there are not many qualified institutions that can fully meet the requirements of the "Stablecoin Regulation."Lee Kuan-hong, the head of HSBC Payme, told reporters that any Payme user can open a stablecoin account. In the stablecoin account, users can directly transfer money to friends and family, transfer to merchants, or invest in products linked to stablecoins. Users in the HSBC app cannot directly open an account; they must wait for HSBC to screen eligible users before applying for a stablecoin account.Payme account opening has required users to be local residents of Hong Kong, while users of the HSBC app also include mainland users. Under the existing management framework in Hong Kong, only local residents can participate in virtual asset trading, and mainland customers, even if they are mobile payment users of HSBC Hong Kong, cannot apply for a stablecoin account.

The President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Eddie Yue, stated that the first batch of stablecoin issuers has been granted licenses today. Based on the business plans of the licensees, they intend to commence operations in the coming months once the relevant preparations are completed.Eddie Yue expressed hope that the issuers will carry out their business as planned, actively explore development opportunities while managing risks, promote the application of compliant stablecoins, and address pain points in financial and economic activities. At the same time, the public should remain vigilant against any fraudulent activities or scams claiming to be related to the licensees or the stablecoins they issue. When purchasing or using stablecoins, regulated channels should be used, and if there are any doubts, they should refer to the records of the Monetary Authority to verify the identity of the licensees or contact the licensees for further inquiries.
