Hong Kong's Stablecoins Ordinance, the world's first dedicated legislation specifically governing fiat-referenced stablecoins, is set to take effect this August.

As stablecoins become a significant part of the financial ecosystem, what does the upcoming initiative reveal about Hong Kong and the global status of the Chinese renminbi?
