USDC Issuers Circle Eyes Major Push in the Hong Kong Market

While the US intensifies the regulatory crackdown, the Asian market remains a huge area of focus for crypto firms. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin, China, on Tuesday, June 27, Jeremy Allaire told Bloomberg:

“Hong Kong clearly is looking to establish itself as a very significant center for digital assets markets and for stablecoins and we are paying very close attention to that”.

In its pursuit of expansion in the Asian markets, Circle recently secured a license as a major payments institution in Singapore. Thus, it will now be able to offer digital payment token services for domestic as well as cross-border money transfer services.

Starting June 1, Hong Kong implemented new rules for regulating cryptocurrencies. This comes at a time when digital asset companies worldwide are looking for secure and appropriate destinations for investors and users due to increased restrictions in the US. However, Hong Kong has not yet introduced regulations specifically for stablecoins.

Circle Supports Hong Kong’s Crypto Ambitions

Over the past year, Hong Kong has been making moves to establish itself as the crypto hub of Asia. Past reports suggest that Hong Kong has support from mainland China despite the ban in the region. This has also led many to believe that China might soon lift a ban on digital assets.

Yesterday, Hong Kong’s leading banking institution HSBC announced that it would allow customers to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This has been a major development after the introduction of new crypto rules in Hong Kong.

“What’s happening in Hong Kong may be a proxy for ultimately how do these markets grow in Greater China. We see enormous demand for digital dollars in emerging markets and Asia is really center of that,” Circle CEO Allaire said.

Mt. Gox repayment date looming: Is Bitcoin in trouble?

Image
As the Mt. Gox repayment deadline scheduled for October approaches, crypto observers expect a major industry event coming up this fall. While the cryptocurrency community is actively discussing the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving in 2024, there is potentially another big market event happening this year. The trustee of the hacked Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to finally repay the exchange’s creditors by the end of October 2023. If that happens, the cryptocurrency market could be significantly affected in several ways, some industry observers agree. Founded in 2010, Mt. Gox was once the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world, estimated to facilitate around 70% of all BTC transactions before its implosion. The now-defunct exchange lost 850,000 BTC — or 4% of all Bitcoin to ever be issued — in a security breach in 2014. The event made Mt. Gox one of the biggest cryptocurrency bankruptcies of all time, with creditors yet to be repaid, nine years later. As the current Mt. Gox repay ment d

The top two crypto trading platforms by the proof-of-reserves score were Kraken and BitMEX, whereas Binance scored poorly due to its shortcomings. Bitcoin supporter Nic Carter has ranked the attestations supplied by some of the most well-known crypto trading platforms and published an in-depth review of centralized exchange proof-of-reserves. Carter thoroughly analyzed the proof-of-reserves from various exchanges (PoR).
