Seven major financial associations in Hong Kong have jointly issued a risk warning document, specifically naming illegal activities related to USDT and other stablecoins. The document, "Risk Alert on Preventing Illegal Activities Involving Virtual Currencies," uses strong language, directly addressing underground fund flows, money laundering chains, and illegal trading scenarios.

The timing is intriguing. The pace of digital RMB development has clearly accelerated in the past two years, and the technology for cross-border capital control is also being upgraded. As the largest USD stablecoin in the crypto world, USDT has always been a key channel for fund flow between mainland and overseas—this obviously conflicts with financial sovereignty management. As an international financial center and a bridgehead for the mainland, Hong Kong's decision to tighten controls at this juncture signals a shift in policy direction to some extent.

The document particularly emphasizes "illegal fundraising, fraud, and pyramid schemes under the guise of virtual currencies," which is a broader scope than expected. It's not just about targeting retail speculation; it's more about cleaning up projects and platforms that use the blockchain banner to run Ponzi schemes. The market has already responded—OTC traders are scaling back their business, some OTC channels are experiencing delays or have shut down entirely, and large wallet transfers are facing more stringent review.

But does this mean USDT is completely finished? Not necessarily. Tightening regulation is the trend, but a full ban and targeted enforcement are two different things. The more likely scenario is: the gray area will shrink, compliance costs will rise, and the operational space for those using stablecoins for arbitrage, hedging, or cross-border transfers will get smaller and smaller. As for high-net-worth individuals' asset allocation channels, they won't be completely closed off, but will become more hidden and more expensive.

In the short term, market sentiment will definitely be affected, but in the long run, this could actually force the entire industry toward greater transparency and compliance. Projects and platforms that are truly building something may actually have the opportunity to gain a foothold amid the chaos. When the storm hits, some people panic, while others are busy repositioning.
