Hồng Kông thúc đẩy khung chính sách stablecoin, kế hoạch gắn vàng được đưa vào nghiên cứu xem xét

【Block Rhythm】Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary revealed the latest progress on stablecoin policy at a public consultation meeting on January 12th for the fiscal budget.

Currently, Hong Kong’s stablecoin policy development is progressing smoothly, and the government will continue to advance related work. Interestingly, citizens proposed a new idea — using gold as the pegging target for stablecoins. The Financial Secretary did not directly reject this, but stated that the government will consider this possibility after completing the first phase of the stablecoin framework.

Even more interesting is that the government is already conducting related research. However, he also emphasized a key word: caution. This means that while the gold-pegging scheme has been included in the consideration scope, it still requires careful assessment of various risks and feasibility.

This public consultation is preparation for Hong Kong’s government announcing a new fiscal budget on the 25th of next month. It appears that Hong Kong’s approach in the stablecoin regulatory field is quite proactive, but it will not rush for quick gains. To be honest, orderly advancement is indeed more reliable.
