分析师和投资者表示，香港金融管理局（HKMA）仅向两家传统银行颁发稳定币牌照的谨慎做法优先考虑风险控制，但限制了香港成为全球数字资产中心的雄心。 市场原本预期至少三张牌照将颁发给更广泛背景的发行商。
香港金融管理局（HKMA）最近仅向两家传统银行颁发了稳定币牌照，此举引发市场惊讶。关键词中提到的HSBC和渣打银行（Standard Chartered）被视为获得者。Everbright Securities International策略师Kenny Ng Lai-yin表示：“仅颁发两张牌照且均为传统银行，这令人意外。市场预期当局至少颁发三张牌照给背景更广泛的稳定币发行商。”
稳定币不同于比特币和以太坊等高波动性加密货币，通常与法定货币或其他参考资产挂钩，旨在结合数字资产的效率与传统货币的稳定性。香港的《稳定币条例》于去年8月生效，是全球最早的此类法律之一，支持城市成为全球数字资产中心的雄心。
分析师指出，HKMA的谨慎方法强调风险控制，但可能阻碍金融创新和更广泛参与。投资者呼吁监管机构扩展规则，以实现香港的数字资产目标。
