Backed by the crypto fever that started in Hong Kong, First Digital Group has launched its USD-indexed stablecoin, FDUSD.
The shift of the crypto industry towards Asia comes to the fore, especially due to the developments on the Hong Kong side. Hong Kong takes a positive approach to cryptocurrency trading and crypto projects. As of June 1, Hong Kong also allows retail investors to trade cryptocurrencies.
Backing this uproar, First Digital Group has launched a new stablecoin under Hong Kong’s Trust Regulations. FDUSD entered the industry on BNB Chain and Ethereum network as a Hong Kong licensed stablecoin.

First Digital Group stated that FDUSD will be backed by cash and equivalent assets held at financial institutions regulated in Asia. First Digital Trust, which has passed through Hong Kong’s regulators, will take on a role in managing the reserves.
One of Hong Kong’s regulations requires assets to be held in segregated reserve accounts without mixing. The company behind FDUSD will continue its services by complying with these regulatory clarifications.
Hong Kong’s prominence in cryptocurrencies is cited as the driving force behind FDUSD. It is thought that this stablecoin could be among the top 5 stablecoins in the near future.
