According to *Daily Economic News*, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) will announce the first batch of stablecoin licenses at 5 PM on April 10. Afterward, licensed stablecoin issuers will meet with the media. Previously, the HKMA completed the final review of the first batch of applications in mid-March 2026 and is now in the preparation stage for the official announcement. The HKMA received a total of 36 applications and plans to issue 2–3 licenses in the first batch, with strict regulatory standards. Earlier this February, HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue stated that they aim to issue Hong Kong's first stablecoin issuer licenses by March this year. He also emphasized: 'The number of licenses issued in the first batch will definitely be small, with a focus on prudence.' https://(wublock123.com)/news/hkma-to-publish-first-stablecoin-licenses-apr-10-5pm-59349
