The HKMA reiterated that since the enforcement of the Stablecoin Law on August 1st, stablecoin sales must be conducted by licensed stablecoin issuers, corporations holding a Type 1 license from the Securities and Futures Commission, virtual asset trading platforms, banks, or stored value facility license holders.
