Hong Kong's first batch of stablecoin licenses will be issued next week, with Standard Chartered, HSBC, and OSL shortlisted

On March 12, according to sources cited by Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong is about to issue its first batch of stablecoin licenses. Traditional banking giants Standard Chartered, HSBC, and the local virtual asset trading platform OSL Group are among the companies to receive the initial stablecoin licenses.

The report states that the list may be announced as early as next week, but there are still uncertainties before it is officially implemented. Currently, no Chinese-funded institutions are seen on the leaked list, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has not commented on such rumors. If the news is accurate, it will be a key milestone in Hong Kong's digital asset regulation process.

Analysts believe that with the successful inclusion of financial giants HSBC and Standard Chartered, it marks an acceleration of traditional financial institutions into the digital asset space; meanwhile, the successful inclusion of virtual asset trading platform OSL reflects regulatory support for local licensed institutions.

This move not only establishes a compliance benchmark for the market but also provides an important reference case for subsequent institutions applying for licenses. The market is closely watching the official announcement next week, looking forward to the final reveal of this major strategic layout in the digital asset field.
