JD.com, Ant Group urge central bank to approve yuan-backed stablecoins

China’s JD.com, known as China’s Amazon, and Ant Group, an affiliate of Alibaba Group, are urging the central bank to approve yuan-based stablecoins to counter the dominance of U.S. dollar-linked digital currencies, according to CoinDesk, citing Reuters. The companies have proposed issuing offshore yuan-backed stablecoins in Hong Kong to help raise the Chinese currency’s global profile. They also plan to launch Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoins when new local regulations take effect on Aug. 1.
