Hong Kong's stablecoins could proliferate with an estimated market potential of $4.6 trillion for asset tokenization and attract growing interest from Chinese tech juggernauts led by Ant and JD.com, with this as a growth boost to the city's virtual banks too. These tokens could become a popular medium of cross-border transactions, yet won't address any concerns about the city's FX peg.

Globally, US dollar-pegged stablecoins could fight central banks' De-Dollarization move, while Tether dominates fiat-backed stablecoins at present. Bloomberg Intelligence senior banking & fintech analyst Francis Chan, together with Chief Asia FX and Rates Strategist Stephen Chiu will share our latest thoughts on this topic.
