Bloomberg Analysis: Future Hong Kong Stablecoins May Be Linked to Real-World Assets Such as Real Estate

Bloomberg Industry Research released a report exploring the potential of the Hong Kong stablecoin market and its impact on the foreign exchange market. Analysts stated that any stablecoin pegged to the Hong Kong dollar is backed by Hong Kong dollar cash or cash equivalents, thus stablecoins will still be affected by the peg between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar. Even if the value of stablecoins remains stable during any potential adjustments to the peg, the assets backing the stablecoins may need to be revalued, leading to the belief that future Hong Kong stablecoins could be linked to real-world assets such as real estate.

Additionally, since stablecoin issuers must hold corresponding fiat currency, a large-scale, tokenizable reserve of high-quality assets could drive the popularization of Hong Kong stablecoins, and this new trading medium could also release the liquidity of real-world assets in Hong Kong.
