According to an announcement on the official website, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) currently lists the firm as one of The Sandbox Participants.


Although the company is included as a Sandbox Participant by the HKMA, a disclaimer states that it cannot be considered as being “endorsed or granted or deemed to be licensed to issue stablecoin.”

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.

The planned HKD stablecoin intended by Jingdong Coinlink follows a pattern of developments in Hong Kong that suggest an emboldening pro-crypto financial approach.


On July 23, CSOP Asset Management, one of the largest asset managers in China, launched Asia’s first Bitcoin (BTC) futures inverse product in Hong Kong.


The CSOP Bitcoin Future Daily (-1x) Inverse Product (7376.HK) followed the launch of the asset management firm’s successful Bitcoin Futures ETF (3066.HK) in December 2022.
