<p><strong>Circle is intensifying efforts</strong> to promote the use of USDC in Hong Kong as confirmed by Chen Qinqi, the company's VP for the Asia-Pacific region. The move aligns with Hong Kong's <a href="https://www.jonesday.com/en/insights/2025/06/hong-kong-passes-law-on-stablecoins" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">regulatory framework for stablecoins</a>, aiming to provide certainty and potential growth in digital assets within the region.</p>
<p><strong>Circle had an inclusive stance on future collaboration</strong> regarding a Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoin, but has clarified that such projects are not on the immediate agenda. Current efforts remain focused on <strong><a href="https://coincu.com/analysis/rootdatas-report-crypto-financing-trends/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">strengthening the USDC and EURC's position</a></strong> globally without creating a new HKD-centric stablecoin at this time.</p>
