The People's Bank of China reiterated the regulatory requirements for virtual currencies, prohibiting related businesses and pegged stablecoins to the renminbi

The People's Bank of China today reiterated in its financial education campaign that virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether do not have legal tender status and cannot be used for currency circulation; conducting virtual currency-related businesses within the country is considered illegal financial activity and is strictly prohibited.The People's Bank of China stated that without the consent of relevant authorities, domestic entities and their controlled overseas entities are not allowed to issue virtual currencies abroad, and no units or individuals, whether domestic or foreign, are permitted to issue stablecoins pegged to the Renminbi abroad. The People's Bank reminds the public not to participate in virtual currency issuance, trading, investment, or mining activities, to be wary of high-yield investment scams, and to avoid renting out bank cards, payment accounts, or participating in virtual currencies.In addition, the People's Bank advises caution against virtual currency investment products and trading platforms that claim "guaranteed profits" or "high interest"; not to participate in virtual currency issuance, trading, investment, or "mining" activities; not to join communities promoting virtual currency activities, not to click on links containing overseas virtual currency trading platforms, or download related apps; not to lend or rent out bank cards or payment accounts, not to buy or sell virtual currencies "on behalf of others" as instructed, and not to act as "drivers," "currency dealers," or "U merchants"; and to report any clues related to virtual currency business activities to the relevant regulatory authorities in a timely manner.

According to CoinDesk, Daren Guo, founder of Reap, a Hong Kong fintech platform and Visa partner, stated that Reap plans to add a Mexican peso stablecoin to its card, cross-border payment, and fund management products, and is exploring stablecoins for the Hong Kong dollar, euro, Korean won, and Japanese yen to support around-the-clock on-chain foreign exchange settlements and reduce cross-border costs.Reap is a major issuing member of Visa in Hong Kong and Mexico (VPIM), owned by Kraken's parent company Payward, and can issue cards on its own BIN, claiming to support partners in over 100 markets. Guo noted that while public blockchains continue to operate, global foreign exchange still relies on bank operating hours, correspondent banks, and settlements that can take several days. Transfer fees for some currency corridors in emerging and cross-border markets can reach 5% to 7%, while nearly 99% of current stablecoin payments are denominated in US dollars.The company is integrating stablecoin settlements into a broader product system that includes cards, cross-border payments, fund management, and compliance risk control. Reap stated that in the first half of 2026, card and payment volumes grew by 33% year-on-year, with revenue and transaction volume expected to double in 2025. Stephen Karpin, President of Visa Asia Pacific, stated that blockchain settlement should not be viewed as a replacement for traditional payment systems, but rather as a complementary relationship, with opportunities to reduce friction and maintain interoperability with the broader financial system.
