Hong Kong moves tokenized settlement to round-the-clock and plans stablecoin trials

TradingGain Newsroom·2h ago·02 Nov 2026, 10:14 UTC

Hong Kong's monetary authority plans to add regulated stablecoins to trials of tokenized government debt. Separately, HSBC says its RedCoin stablecoin has reached 50,000 users, and tokenized settlement now runs 24/7.

Why it matters

Round-the-clock tokenized settlement could change when traders can move funds and settle positions.
Regulated stablecoins in government debt trials may signal wider institutional use of digital assets.
HSBC's RedCoin reaching 50,000 users suggests growing interest in bank-issued stablecoins.

What to watch next

Watch for the HKMA's official timeline and scope for the stablecoin trials, as these will show when the changes take effect.
