Eddid Financial Partners with Industry Leaders to Advance Stablecoin Adoption Driving Global Growth of Hong Kong's Digital Currency Ecosystem

HONG KONG, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the Hong Kong Legislative Council's passage of the Stablecoins Bill in May 2025, the city's virtual asset regulatory framework has entered a new era. As a key industry player, Eddid Financial is actively collaborating with leading partners to explore core applications of stablecoins across various scenarios, aiming to foster innovation and global expansion of the digital currency ecosystem.

Stablecoins: Bridging Traditional Finance and the Digital Economy

Stablecoins, digital assets pegged to fiat currencies, have emerged as a vital link between traditional financial systems and the digital economy due to their price stability and high liquidity. The newly enacted Stablecoins Bill outlines clear licensing requirements for issuers, including regulations on asset reserves, redemption mechanisms, risk management, and anti-money laundering protocols. This robust regulatory framework enhances investor protection and provides a solid foundation for market development.

Enhancing Settlement Efficiency and Transparency

Against this backdrop, Eddid Financial and its partners are actively exploring stablecoin applications in settlement scenarios. By leveraging blockchain technology for real-time fund transfers and enhanced transparency, these efforts aim to significantly improve settlement efficiency and reduce transaction costs.

Cross-Border Payments: Reinforcing Hong Kong's Role as a Global Financial Hub

Cross-border payments represent a key application of stablecoins and a strategic focus for Eddid Financial and its collaborators. Traditional cross-border transactions are often complex and costly. Stablecoins, with their decentralized architecture and instant settlement capabilities, offer a streamlined alternative—reducing transaction times, mitigating exchange rate risks, and improving capital flow efficiency. Eddid Financial is exploring diverse approaches to support the cross-border payment ecosystem, reinforcing Hong Kong's position as Asia's premier international financial center.

A Forward-Looking Vision: Eddid Financial's Stablecoin Development Blueprint

Dr. Ricky Yeung, Head of Virtual Assets at Eddid Financial, stated: "The passage of the Stablecoins Bill establishes a clear and pragmatic regulatory foundation for Hong Kong's stablecoin market. This provides strong support for our joint efforts with industry partners to promote stablecoin applications in settlement and cross-border payments. We believe stablecoins will be a key driver of global digital economic development, and we will continue to deepen collaboration, foster technological innovation, and ensure regulatory compliance."

Looking ahead, Eddid Financial will continue to integrate fintech resources, strengthen collaborative innovation with industry partners, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the stablecoin ecosystem. These efforts aim to maintain Hong Kong's competitive edge in the global digital currency race and deliver secure, efficient digital asset services to investors and users worldwide.
