]( Observation of Hong Kong's Blockchain Regulatory Environment: Short-term Pessimistic, Long-term Optimistic

It is fundamentally difficult for the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin to be implemented, not just due to licensing issues, but the biggest obstacle is the limitations on the scope of business under risk control. For example, one of the biggest limitations of the current Hong Kong stablecoin policy is that end users must undergo KYC. This means that the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin has no secondary market and can only circulate within whitelisted addresses.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) released a series of investigative reports titled "Coin Laundry," revealing how illegal funds are transferred through major exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, and Kucoin. The tracked cryptocurrency funds are linked to global criminal groups, including hackers and drug trafficking. ICIJ Executive Director Gerard Ryle stated, "Our investigation raises several urgent questions: To what extent do large cryptocurrency exchanges facilitate criminal activities? Why are regulators struggling to keep up with a financial system driven by opacity and speed?"

The Malaysian Securities Commission (SC) proposed to allow licensed cryptocurrency exchanges to independently approve token listings starting in 2026. The proposal was published in the form of the "2025 Public Consultation Document No. 3," suggesting a liberalized listing framework that transfers decision-making power from regulatory agencies to exchanges. Under this model, exchanges registered as "recognized market operators" will be responsible for assessing whether tokens meet listing standards. As a condition for obtaining this authority, exchanges must comply with enhanced governance, security, and transparency requirements, ensuring that investor protection remains a top priority.
