$ETH
HSBC has also entered the game
RedCoin will be rolled out in phases
Traditional banks have started making stablecoins themselves
Holy crap
Brothers
HSBC Bank is also starting to stir things up
They finally revealed the name of their own stablecoin—HSBC RedCoin
And this time it’s not just some concept PPT to fool people
HSBC has already obtained a stablecoin issuance license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority
Plans to launch in phases in the second half of 2026
In the first phase, they’ll start with the simplest use cases
Person-to-person transfers and personal payments to merchants
What’s even wilder
RedCoin is not being prepared just to be dumped on exchanges for you to trade
In the early stage, they’ll directly integrate it into HSBC’s own PayMe and the HSBC HK app
Users can use it for transfers and spending
Later, it will gradually expand into enterprise and institutional scenarios
HSBC also plans to connect tokenized investment products
This gets interesting
Back then, stablecoins were the cryptocurrency community’s “dollar substitutes” for trading
Now traditional banks are creating stablecoins themselves
And it’s a Hong Kong dollar–pegged stablecoin
More importantly
HSBC says RedCoin will be redeemable 1:1 in HKD
And fully backed by high-quality, highly liquid segregated assets
This means one thing
Stablecoins are slowly evolving from a crypto tool
into banking payment infrastructure
In the future, when you buy a bottle of water at a convenience store
What may be running in the background isn’t card clearing
but a stablecoin issued by a bank itself
USDT and USDC have been leading the way for years
Now traditional banks are finally stepping in personally
This news is a positive tailwind for Asia’s compliant stablecoin track
Traditional global banks entering the stablecoin space
Hong Kong’s regulatory framework taking shape
Proving that compliant stablecoins have entered the mainstream banking ecosystem
And boosting expectations for RWA and payments
In the short term, it’s more of an emotional positive
In the long term, it’s an industrial positive
All in all, it’s a good thing
So, does that mean in the future we won’t need to use USDT anymore?
Just switch to our own HKD stablecoin—wouldn’t that work too?
