Hong Kong Financial Secretary: Stablecoin issuers must comply with three main requirements: full reserve, redemption services, and governance

ChainCatcher news, according to the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau stated that the SAR government needs to establish a regulatory framework for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers, regulating in a risk-based and pragmatic manner. The three main requirements include reserve management and stabilization mechanisms (for example, requiring issuers to ensure that fiat-backed stablecoins are fully backed by high-quality and highly liquid reserve assets), redemption requirements, and governance, knowledge, and experience regulatory requirements.The Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau also suggested that only licensed fiat-backed stablecoin issuers, banks, licensed corporations, and licensed virtual asset trading platforms may sell fiat-backed stablecoins in Hong Kong or actively promote related services to the public in Hong Kong.For existing stablecoin issuers, the proposed regulatory framework will also have corresponding transitional arrangements. Additionally, the Bureau expects that a regulatory framework for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers that is appropriate and in line with international regulatory recommendations can provide sufficient protection for users, addressing potential risks to monetary and financial stability, allowing the virtual asset ecosystem in Hong Kong to develop sustainably and responsibly.

Report: The impact of Mt. Gox bankruptcy redemption on BCH is greater, and the selling pressure on BCH will be four times that of BTC

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Presto Labs research director Peter Chung wrote in a report that concerns about selling pressure from the Mt. Gox bankruptcy redemption leading to a drop in Bitcoin prices are unfounded, but this could be a bearish situation for Bitcoin Cash (BCH).The report stated: "Our analysis shows that the selling pressure for BCH will be four times greater than that for BTC: 24% of BCH's daily trading volume vs. 6% of BTC's daily trading volume." He pointed out that BCH's daily trading volume is one-fiftieth of BTC's.In an interview, Chung stated that BTC selling is expected to be limited, as anyone wanting to exit can sell their claims in the bankruptcy claims market. Over the past decade, due to aggressive bidding from the claims fund, vulnerable creditors have had many opportunities to exit, so it can be safely assumed that the current group of creditors consists of strong bulls holding BTC. Traders will view BCH as an "airdrop" and sell it immediately, as the BCH fork occurred three years after the Mt. Gox bankruptcy. Unless there is a funding rate risk, pairing long BTC perpetual contracts with short BCH perpetual contracts is the most effective market-neutral way to express this view. Those looking to lock in funding rates can explore other methods, such as shorting short-term futures or borrowing BCH in the spot market.
