Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated in a blog post that, due to geopolitical developments, global investors are reassessing the risks in their portfolios and adjusting investment strategies to diversify risk, making Hong Kong a safe haven for capital. Total bank deposits in Hong Kong have risen by over 10% this year—following a 7% increase last year—to exceed HK$19 trillion. Hong Kong leads globally in IPO fundraising, its wealth management industry is thriving, and financial cooperation with regions around the world continues to deepen—all reflecting strong international investor interest in Hong Kong’s market. Several major IPOs this year have also attracted significant participation from cornerstone investors from the West to the Middle East. Recently, numerous international financial leaders visiting Hong Kong for conferences have indicated their institutions are planning to hire more staff and expand operations in the city.

3. The European Central Bank Warned of the Cross-Border Regulatory Arbitrage Risks Posed by Stablecoins and Called for a Globally Harmonized Regulatory Framework

A preview of the European Central Bank’s Financial Stability Review shows that, as of November 2025, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has surpassed USD 280 billion, accounting for approximately 8% of the entire crypto market. USDT and USDC together represent nearly 90% of this share, and their reserve assets have reached the scale of the world’s top 20 money market funds. The ECB report notes that widespread adoption of stablecoins could lead households to shift part of their bank deposits into stablecoin holdings, weakening banks’ retail funding bases and increasing funding volatility. While MiCAR has already prohibited European issuers from paying interest to curb such shifts, banks are still calling on the U.S. to implement similar restrictions. Furthermore, the rapid growth of stablecoins and their linkages to the banking system could also trigger concentrated fund withdrawals during times of crisis. The report highlights the cross-border risk of “multi-issuer arrangements,” warning that EU-based issuers may struggle to meet global redemption requests, and calls for additional safeguards prior to market access as well as greater global regulatory alignment.
