2 days ago

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has released a draft guideline on the classification of crypto assets aimed at new bank capital requirements.

New Rules in Hong Kong

On September 8, 2025, the HKMA introduced the draft known as CRP-1, detailing new capital rules for banks regarding crypto assets, which will take effect in early 2026.

Separation of Crypto Assets

The draft differentiates between tokenized assets and stablecoins that meet regulatory frameworks, separating them from unbacked crypto assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Strengthening Crypto and Stablecoin Regulations

In 2025, Hong Kong intensified its regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including a ban on unlicensed stablecoin advertisements effective August 1, 2025, and introduced comprehensive stablecoin licensing regulations.

These initiatives highlight Hong Kong's strategic efforts to create a secure and competitive environment for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, aimed at positioning it as a significant player in the global digital asset landscape.
