It is expected that some licenses will be issued early next year, with priority given to sound reserve management, price stability, and anti-money laundering measures. He pointed out that these measures not only protect investors but also reduce ambiguity that could lead to transaction conflicts by establishing a clear compliance path, thus helping to resolve potential disputes. The Hong Kong Stablecoin Ordinance came into effect in August this year.
