Hong Kong Exchanges Still Do Not Approve Of Stablecoins To Trade, May Introduce Guidelines In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Hong Kong's Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christian Hui, announced that the country has not adopted any regulations for stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC), thus they will not be allowed to trade on the exchange. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority may introduce regulatory guidelines for the stablecoin market by the end of 2024. This comes after Hong Kong allowed retail trading of cryptocurrencies in early August 2023.
