HSBC0.8%

According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) Chief Executive Yu Wai-man on June 9, two Hong Kong-issued stablecoins are set to launch within 2026, with Anchord Tech expected to roll out its HKD stablecoin by mid-year, followed by HSBC in the third or fourth quarter.

Anchord Tech's stablecoin will focus on cross-border payments, aiming to reduce remittance costs and improve transaction speed for cross-border e-commerce and regional trade. HSBC's offering will primarily target retail payment scenarios and may eventually support tokenized asset settlement on clearing platforms.
