Hong Kong enacts law on stablecoin licensing and regulation

On May 30, 2025, Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Ordinance mandates that stablecoin issuers acquire licenses, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations on reserve management and anti-money laundering. This initiative is designed to increase transparency and investor trust in the market.

The market shows mixed reactions; while some anticipate increased local investments due to better security measures, others express concern about the ramifications for non-compliant participants. Tether USDT continues to maintain a market cap of 153.1 billion USD with a dominance of 4.61%.
