Crypto Project Launches Stablecoin Pilot Program in China and Hong Kong

Despite the ongoing cryptocurrency ban in China, the digital asset landscape in both the most populated country in the world and Hong Kong is expanding, with innovative solutions opening new avenues for crypto adoption in the region.

Flare, a layer-1 blockchain, has partnered with Red Date Technology to launch two pilot programs in Hong Kong, aimed at allowing mainland Chinese residents to legally access stablecoins issued by IDA, a virtual asset company.

These trials will enable users to anonymously register on a regulated stablecoin app and use the stablecoins to purchase tokenized financial products.

The pilots are notable in light of Hong Kong’s upcoming regulations that could allow public blockchains to host digital currencies. The initiative also marks a step toward China’s approach to integrating blockchain technology, even as the country maintains strict regulations on cryptocurrencies.

To comply with Chinese laws, the trials will employ the China Real-Name Decentralized Identifier System (RealDID), which enables anonymous registration while adhering to real-name requirements.

Users will be able to engage with stablecoins and other tokenized financial products without submitting traditional identification documents, though it is unlikely that popular stablecoins like Tether or Circle’s USDC will be part of the offering.

What is Flare?

Flare is designed to facilitate interoperability between different blockchains, enabling seamless communication between them. It aims to extend smart contract functionality to networks that don’t inherently support it, such as the XRP Ledger.

The Flare Network operates through two key protocols. The State Connector allows the network to access and utilize data from other blockchains, including asset-specific or general information. The Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) provides reliable off-chain data to the network for various uses.

Running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Flare also allows Ethereum developers to seamlessly build decentralized applications (dApps) on its platform.
