Stablecoins are digital assets issued by private entities that maintain a fixed value relative to a government-issued currency or other reference rate.

Traditionally, they serve as a bridge for transactions involving digital assets on blockchains, which cannot directly interact with fiat currencies.

Hong Kong's proposed Stablecoin Bill is coming closer to becoming law, as the city moves to balance financial stability and consumer protection while advancing its virtual assets agenda.

Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates can use stablecoins pegged to the Hong Kong dollar and UAE dirham to trade directly without converting into US dollars and going through settlement banks.

BCG partner Yue Hong Zhang said stablecoins and pegs can help position Hong Kong as a "future international financial centre" with Web3 capabilities.
