On September 30, HSBC officially named the soon-to-be-launched Hong Kong dollar stablecoin “HSBC RedCoin” (HSBC RedCoin). The bank stated clearly that no stablecoin has been issued in Hong Kong yet. In April 2026, it obtained a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin issuer licence from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, with plans to launch a Hong Kong dollar–denominated stablecoin in the second half of 2026. During the initial rollout, it will be made available only through PayMe and HSBC Hong Kong’s mobile wealth-management app; more details will be announced separately.
The product will be rolled out in phases: the first phase will focus on person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) payments, closely aligning with everyday transfers and consumption scenarios. It will later expand into areas such as corporate finance and business-level use cases, supported by public educational content within the app and on the official website. A local customer survey conducted on the same day involving more than 1,000 participants showed that about 74% of respondents have noticed at least one stablecoin use case. Awareness was particularly high for scenarios such as digital-asset trading and tokenized investments, personal transfers, cross-border payments, and merchant payments. Clearer regulatory guidance and anti-fraud education were listed as key factors enhancing confidence. HSBC also reminds customers that it has no connection to any fraudulent stablecoins that misuse its brand, and that customers should guard against related scams.
