Layer 1 Flare and Decentralized Cloud Firm Red Date Set to Trial Stablecoin Buying for Chinese Nationals in Hong Kong

“With Hong Kong on the cusp of announcing new stablecoin regulations allowing digital currencies on public blockchains, the introduction of this KYC solution trial gives Mainland Chinese residents their first opportunity to legally hold public chain wallets and transact with stablecoins, such as HKDA, a fiat-referenced Hong Kong Dollar stablecoin issued by IDA. This project signals a possible first step in aligning with China’s long-term approach to integrating blockchain technology,” the companies said in a statement.
