Hong Kong SFC warns stablecoin rules heighten fraud risks

Hong Kong SFC warns stablecoin rules heighten fraud risks

The post Hong Kong SFC warns stablecoin rules heighten fraud risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) official warned that the introduction of the new local stablecoin regulatory framework has increased the risk of fraud. According to an Aug. 18 report by Chinese financial news outlet Zhitongcaijing, Ye Zhiheng, executive director of the intermediaries division at the SFC, said that fraud risks have increased with the recent introduction of stablecoin regulations. He urged investors to exercise caution and avoid making irrational investment decisions driven by market hype or price momentum. Ye’s remarks followed stablecoin companies operating in Hong Kong posting double-digit losses on Aug. 1, just after the new stablecoin regulation came into force. Analysts at the time described the sell-off as a healthy correction, as the requirements for stablecoin issuers proved to be more stringent than expected. Still, Ye said that some companies saw their share prices rise simply by disclosing plans to apply for a stablecoin license.

The regulators pointed to “recent abrupt market movements linked to the stablecoin concept” of companies. “These movements appear to follow corporate announcements, news reports, social media posts or speculations regarding plans to apply for stablecoin issuer licence, engage in related activities or explore the feasibility of such initiatives in Hong Kong,” the announcement said. The SFC also said it will closely monitor trading activities in Hong Kong. The regulator plans to “take stringent actions against any manipulative or deceptive practices that could compromise the integrity of the market.” Related: Animoca and Standard Chartered form stablecoin venture in Hong Kong Crypto is a high priority for Hong Kong regulators The warnings come…
