許正宇:歡迎全球不同地方機構申請穩定幣發行人牌照 以統一標準審批
財經事務及庫務局局長許正宇今日(2日)回覆立法會議員提問時指,《穩定幣條例》將於今年8月1日生效,屆時香港金融管理局(金管局)將開始接受牌照申請。目前,金管局正就落實條例的具體指引進行市場諮詢,爭取盡快訂立指引。 經諮詢金管局後,他回覆指,政府最近發布了《香港數字資產發展政策宣言2.0》,涵蓋推進數字資產應用場景及跨界別合作的政策方向,並闡明探討以穩定幣作支付工具。為展現政府對穩定幣發展的支持及作領頭作用,政府在《政策宣言2.0》廣邀市場參與者就政府測試和利用獲發牌的穩定幣提出建議,例如如何用以提升政府支付的效率。 他表示,在發展市場和應用場景的同時,合規地經營業務同樣重要。穩定幣發行人在不同領域需具備充分的配套、關鍵的能力和經驗,例如儲備資產管理及資產的安全保障系統、有效的價格穩定機制和全面可行的贖回政策,還有科技安全、風險管控和反洗錢等方面的能力等。如穩定幣的應用場景牽涉其他地區,牌照申請人必須有整全的合規計劃及足夠資源,確保自身及商業夥伴持有所需牌照,以及在進行穩定幣相關活動時遵守香港及其他地區的相關法規。 許氏稱,財庫局和金管局一直就穩定幣的監管和發展與本地和其他地區的持份者,包括潛在穩定幣發行人、市場人士、專業服務提供者等,積極溝通。 香港的穩定幣發行人發牌制度具靈活性和開放性,允許持牌發行人可選擇不同法幣幣種,作為發行穩定幣的錨定法幣。港府歡迎全球不同地方的機構按實際業務需要申請牌照,並會以統一標準審批牌照申請,例如考慮發行人是否符合儲備資產管理、穩定機制、贖回安排和內部管控措施等監管要求。政府和金融監管機構會密切留意不同地區的監管發展,並與各地的監管機構保持溝通。 許正宇表示,政府會繼續秉持「相同業務、相同風險、相同規則」的原則,著重風險為本,持續優化和建立一套既切合本地情況,又依循國際標準和慣例的監管制度,促進香港數字資產市場健康、負責任和可持續發展,進一步鞏固香港國際金融中心的地位。
