Stablecoin Regulatory Divergence | US Institutionalization vs. Chinese Prohibition

The United States and China have adopted diametrically opposed regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, with significant implications for dollar hegemony, cross-border payments, and the future of digital finance. The US Genius Act of 2025 marks a watershed moment for institutional adoption of dollar-denominated stablecoins, while China maintains strict prohibitions, viewing speculative digital assets as contrary to real economy development. Hong Kong occupies a strategic middle position, implementing legislative frameworks that may provide regulatory innovation insights for mainland China while serving as a settlement hub for Chinese companies operating in emerging markets.
