In response to the above market rumours, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said today that it will not comment on the market rumor, but that the HKMA is open and cautious about whether to issue additional stablecoin issuer licenses and timelines, and there is no clear trend at this stage. The spokesperson further stated that the current focus of the HKMA's work is to advance the business preparations of the two licensed stablecoin issuers and observe the implementation of relevant application scenarios, operating results, and market reactions after they successfully issue compliant stablecoins. As to whether to issue additional licenses in the future, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors, including whether applications meet licensing requirements, market demand for stablecoins, actual application conditions, and international development trends and regulatory discussions.
