HSBC's Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin, RedCoin, has reached 50,000 users within just over a week since its launch on October 23 through the PayMe app. This milestone highlights HSBC's entry into retail digital payments, leveraging Hong Kong's supportive regulatory environment which limits stablecoin issuers to two, including HSBC.
