The notice pointed out that these crypto ATM operators may not be compliant, have not verified customer identities, and lack internal controls to respond to law enforcement requests.

7. Licensed Institutions Can Apply for HKMA Stablecoin Currency Mismatch License

According to an analysis by Mobile Payment Network, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) may conditionally allow certain stablecoin cases to engage in currency mismatches. Licensed institutions must demonstrate that they can maintain full redemption capabilities at all times, including under extreme and market stress conditions, while ensuring that any currency mismatch measures do not transfer risk to stablecoin holders. Additionally, licensed institutions must discuss and obtain approval from the HKMA before proposing plans regarding the composition and proportion of reserve assets, as well as risk management measures. Furthermore, the HKMA does not prohibit licensed institutions from hiring distributors outside of Hong Kong. However, licensed institutions should conduct due diligence and risk assessments before hiring and continuously monitor throughout the process, while adhering to relevant third-party risk management measures, and should pay special attention to comply with local laws and regulations. -Original
