About the Program
This webinar will explain how historic new law will present business opportunities for market participants in two of the world’s largest economies.
On May 21, 2025, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council passed the Stablecoins Bill, establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins – cryptocurrencies whose value is tied to an external asset or commodity. The Stablecoin Ordinance took effect on August 1, 2025, positioning Hong Kong as a leading hub for digital finance.
In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) into law on July 18, 2025. This landmark legislation will begin transforming the traditional paper currency payment system into a digital economy, reshaping how market participants buy and sell goods and services.
Designed for legal, compliance, and financial professionals, the program will cover:
- A primer on cryptocurrency with a focus on stablecoins, including new issuers, new uses, and the law that governs issuance and use;
- Key features of the US GENIUS Act and the Hong Kong Stablecoin Ordinance;
- Practical business implications for issuers, exchanges, institutional and retail investors, banks and competitors of banks, and the consumer; and
- Emerging global trends, cross-border considerations, and predictions for future developments, along with guidance on how to prepare.
There will be an opportunity for questions following the presentation.
