- Shanghai SASAC shifts stance on stablecoins amid regulatory discussions.
- Potential yuan-backed stablecoin explored at SASAC meeting.
- Corporates like JD.com and Ant Group push for stablecoin solutions.
Shanghai’s SASAC, led by He Qing, signals a shift in approach to stablecoins during a recent meeting, highlighting potential yuan-backed solutions amid China’s ongoing crypto ban discussions.
Shanghai’s open exploration of stablecoins could pave the way for digital currency research and potential economic shifts.
He Qing, director of Shanghai’s SASAC, highlighted the need for enhanced research into digital currencies. The latest meeting organized by SASAC, saw participation from government and industry stakeholders, signaling a shift towards stablecoins.
Ant Group and JD.com are advocating for a yuan-backed stablecoin, emphasizing an alternative to US dollar-linked stablecoins like USDC and USDT. This illustrates corporate urgency in developing digital currency solutions.
Businesses and regulators could see shifts, affecting policies and the digital currency landscape. However, foreign stablecoins remain off-limits, with an emphasis on a domestic focus.
“We need to have greater sensitivity to emerging technologies and enhanced research into digital currencies.” — He Qing, Director, Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC)
SASAC Director He Qing urges for more research in emerging technologies. Potential policy changes could significantly affect Chinese economic strategies and corporate positions toward competing internationally.
The regulatory landscape in China may evolve, potentially impacting financial sectors. Historically, shifts in China’s financial policies result in broader implications nationwide, often seen previously in the digital yuan’s early trials.
