It has announced plans to provide specialized accounts tailored for institutions issuing stablecoins in the region, enabling them to securely custody the assets backing these digital tokens. The bank’s initiative follows discussions with multiple parties interested in issuing stablecoins, with the service set to roll out upon obtaining regulatory approval from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

Additionally, Sin hinted at ZA Bank’s future plans to extend custody services for digital tokens, reflecting the institution’s ongoing engagement with cryptocurrency and Web3 technologies. Having facilitated substantial transactions for Web3 companies in the past, ZA Bank aims to play a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the Web3 economy and enhancing its offerings to cater to the evolving needs of the digital asset ecosystem.
