Jingdong Coinlink plans to issue the stablecoin on the blockchain with a peg to the HKD, aiming to provide businesses with “efficient, cost-effective, and secure payment solutions.”


According to the website, the stablecoin will be redeemable on a 1:1 basis, and its reserves will consist of “highly liquid, highly trusted assets” stored in licensed financial institutions.


The website also states that the stablecoin will “actively” collaborate with “global regulatory authorities” while adhering to existing and future legal and regulatory requirements.
