Optimistic about the long-term development of Web3 in Hong Kong
While everyone is talking about airdrops, Hong Kong is playing a big game of chess – the official passage of the Stablecoin Bill on May 21 is perhaps the most important regulatory breakthrough for Asian markets since the passage of Bitcoin ETFs.
Why is this matter worthy of everyone's attention in Web3?
Because this is not just another regulatory document, but a silent revolution about who will issue the money of the future. While the US continues its hegemony with USDT/USDC, and while Europe is still hesitating on CBDC, Hong Kong is trying to find an unprecedented "third way"...
▌Why is this the "Norman landing" of Hong Kong finance?
1️⃣ The hegemony of the US dollar is being challenged the most
- At present, 95% of the global $300 billion stablecoin market is monopolized by US dollar stablecoins
- The amount of USDT on-chain settlement in a single day has exceeded the sum of Visa+Mastercard
- Hong Kong wants to break the "digital colonization" of the US dollar in the crypto world
2️⃣ A new breakthrough has been found in the internationalization of the RMB
- The offshore renminbi (CNH) stablecoin will make its debut on the world stage
- In the future, cross-border trade may be settled directly using digital yuan
- Hong Kong becomes a "digital gateway" to the renminbi
3️⃣ Financial security upgrades
- Establish an autonomous and controllable blockchain payment network
- Reduce reliance on the SWIFT system
- Protect against potential financial sanctions risks
▌Hong Kong's "secret weapon": dual-anchored stablecoins 💎
✔️ At the same time, it is anchored to USD + RMB
✔️ The reserve ratio is dynamically adjusted
✔️ Maintain the Hong Kong dollar linked exchange rate advantage
✔️ It also opens a digital channel for the renminbi
Technical Architecture:
- Smart contracts automatically balance dual currency reserves
- Real-time on-chain audits are transparent and verifiable
- Support multi-chain interoperability
▌The global stablecoin war is ⚔️ heating up
Latest results in 2025:
1️⃣ USDT: 80 billion market capitalization, 66% of the market share
2️⃣ USDC: 30 billion market capitalization, 25% of the market
3️⃣ Others: DAI, FDUSD, etc. are struggling to catch up
Hong Kong Opportunities:
- The world's first regulated fiat stablecoin
- Backed by a population of 60 million in the Greater Bay Area
- Radiate the "Belt and Road" digital trade

❌ Fail:
· The status of traditional financial centers has been weakened

--------
When Tether and Circle monopolized the $300 billion stablecoin market, and when the US SEC used a regulatory stick to divide its sphere of influence, what Hong Kong is doing is to reserve a "non-dollar option" for the crypto world.
This is not a simple regulatory follow-up, but a well-designed financial breakthrough – using the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin to maintain local payment sovereignty, using the renminbi stablecoin to open up a new offshore channel, and finally building a "digital financial breakwater" outside the US dollar system. #usdt #usdc #fusd
