Headlines
According to an article published by Caixin, major domestic Internet companies may gradually withdraw from cryptocurrency-related businesses, and many central state-owned enterprises and Chinese banks' Hong Kong branches may also be absent from the ongoing application for Hong Kong stablecoin licenses.
Earlier, there were reports that other Hong Kong banks, including Chinese banks, were interested in applying to become the first batch of Hong Kong stablecoin issuers. However, due to recent changes in policy trends, Chinese banks and other institutions that had previously actively participated in the license application may adjust their strategies.
People familiar with the matter revealed that Hong Kong's stablecoin business has just started and its future direction is still unclear. Excessive participation of Chinese institutions may lead to risk transfer, so it is necessary to isolate risks first and not rush to participate.
BlackRock plans to tokenize its funds that hold real-world assets and stocks
Odaily Planet Daily News: After the success of Bitcoin ETF, BlackRock plans to tokenize its funds that own real-world assets and stocks and put them on the blockchain.
Odaily Planet Daily News Yi Lihua wrote: "I am consistent in my words and deeds and am optimistic that ETH will continue its bullish trend after the volatility. ETH has risen from over $1,000, and the pattern is that every time it rises by $1,000, it will fluctuate and consolidate for a period of time before continuing to rise. In addition, among diversified investments, other than ENA, none of the others have outperformed ETH. Overall, it is better to concentrate on ETH than to diversify your investments."

Odaily Planet Daily News: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued a draft of the new module CRP-1 "Classification of Crypto Assets" of the "Banking Supervisory Policy Manual" (SPM) to the local banking industry on September 8, intending to further clarify the regulatory guidelines for the new bank capital regulations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's crypto asset regulatory standards, which will be implemented in early 2026.
The new regulations divide crypto assets into two groups, each of which is further divided into two subgroups (Group 1a, Group 1b, Group 2a, and Group 2b). According to the revised Hong Kong Banking (Capital) Rules, Group 1a comprises tokenized traditional assets, and Group 1b comprises stablecoins with effective stabilization mechanisms. Group 2 assets include all crypto assets not backed by reserves, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as any tokenized traditional assets and stablecoins that do not meet the classification criteria. Using a set of hedging recognition criteria, these assets are further divided into Group 2a (limited hedging recognition) and Group 2b (unrecognized hedging). (Caixin)

Odaily Planet Daily News: Variant Chief Legal Officer Jake Chervinsky published an article on X stating that there is currently no so-called "GENIUS compliant" stablecoin.
Much of the debate has focused on whether existing stablecoins comply with GENIUS. However, the bill itself does not provide specific rules for how issuers can comply. It simply sets a general framework, leaving the details to regulators to fill in through rulemaking. Rulemaking is a massive undertaking, and until these rules are finalized, it's impossible to determine whether a particular stablecoin complies.
Rulemaking is no small matter, nor is it something anyone can delay – GENIUS actually needs to wait 120 days after the rules are finalized to become effective law, with an estimated date of July 18, 2026. This means the expected effective date for GENIUS is November 15, 2026. Until then, stablecoins will continue to operate under the same regulatory framework that has governed them for the past one, five, and ten years.
