HSBC's Hong Kong dollar stablecoin gains 50,000 users in its first week

HSBC launched its Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin, RedCoin, on October 23, 2026, within its PayMe app and quickly signed up 50,000 users in just over a week. RedCoin allows peer-to-peer transfers and payments at over 100,000 merchants in the PayMe ecosystem, operating on a private blockchain controlled by HSBC. This launch follows HSBC receiving one of only two stablecoin issuer licenses granted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, marking a significant step in regulated retail stablecoins. Key next steps include independent reserve audits after Q4 2026 and potential expansion of use cases and licenses.

HSBC's RedCoin stablecoin has attracted 50,000 users shortly after its launch.
