According to a July 30th report from PANews and the National Business Daily, Hong Kong Monetary Authority Deputy Chief Executive Chan Wai-min stated at a technical briefing on the regulatory regime for stablecoin issuers that the number of stablecoin issuer licenses to be issued in the first phase is uncertain and will depend on the quality of the application materials submitted by the applicants. The first stablecoin issuer license is expected to be issued early next year, and he emphasized that "the threshold for passing the examination is very high." Chan also stated that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority maintains an open approach regarding fiat currencies. Stablecoin issuers can apply for a license pegged to a specific fiat currency or to a basket of fiat currencies. The key is to indicate the fiat currency in the application.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services.
