He divulged,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If eventually the Chinese government wants to see the RMB used more freely in trade and commerce around the world, it may be that stablecoins are the path to do that more than the central bank digital currency.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Allaire clarified that, though he views stablecoins as superior to CBDCs, the two systems are complementary.<\/p>\n<h4>China and Hong Kong look at crypto differently<\/h4>\n<p>Regarding China\u2019s ban on cryptocurrency, the Circle CEO said that he is under no illusions that the Chinese government is opening up to cryptocurrency. But as Hong Kong is embracing virtual assets, there has to be a support of the Chinese government behind this action.<\/p>\n<p>However, a local news report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panewslab.com\/zh\/sqarticledetails\/7pomrdow.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mentions<\/a> that authorities detained the team behind the stablecoins, CNH Coin and HKD Coin, in Shanghai in May.<\/p>\n<p>CNH Coin is a stablecoin pegged to the offshore yuan (CNH). On the other hand, HKD Coin is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar (HKD).<\/p>\n<p>The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkma.gov.hk\/eng\/regulatory-resources\/consultations\/closed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vowed<\/a> to implement regulations on stablecoins by 2024. Hong Kong is also participating in a cross-border blockchain pilot for the eCNY.<\/p>\n<p>Allaire said that actions of the Hong Kong authorities have encouraged the crypto firm. Much of Circle\u2019s business activity is in Asia now, its largest market outside the U.S. The company now has 125 employees in the continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire believes that yuan-pegged stablecoins are better than CBDCs if China wants to internationalize its currency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,66,3,4,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-326672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-global-news","category-new-news","category-news","category-social","category-trading-view"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
