HSBC and Standard Chartered-led group land Hong Kong’s first stablecoin licenses



Hong Kong granted its first two stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial, a Standard Chartered-led consortium that includes Animoca Brands on Friday.

The approvals by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the territory's central bank, mark the first batch under the Stablecoins Ordinance, which took effect in August 2025.

"We look forward to the issuers launching business according to their plans, exploring growth opportunities while properly managing risks," HKMA chief executive Eddie Yue said in an announcement on Friday.

"We hope their promotion of regulated stablecoins will address pain points in financial and economic activities, create values for both individuals and businesses, and support the healthy development of digital assets in Hong Kong.”

The HKMA assessed 36 applications and had signaled that the initial round would be limited. Financial Secretary Paul Chan said in his February budget address that only "a small number" would be approved, with the regulator prioritizing risk management, reserve quality, and anti-money-laundering controls.

The decision to license the city's note-issuing banks first appears to be deliberate. HSBC and Standard Chartered are two of only three commercial banks authorized to print Hong Kong dollar banknotes, a system that dates to 1846, when private banks began issuing currency backed by silver deposits in the absence of a colonial central bank.

Today, each note-issuing bank deposits U.S. dollars with the government's Exchange Fund at the fixed rate of HK$7.80 per dollar and receives Certificates of Indebtedness in return, against which it prints banknotes.

Yue drew the parallel in a December 2023 blog post.

Pre-1935 banknotes issued by commercial banks in exchange for deposited silver were a form of "private money," Yue

Bitcoin rebound faces oil shock, inflation test despite ceasefire relief as macro jitters persist: analysts

Bitcoin held above $72,000 as traders weighed headlines on the Middle East against a high-stakes U.S. CPI print.

Analysts said the ceasefire has reduced the war premium but not restored normal market function, keeping oil, rates and crypto tightly linked.

Bitcoin pushed higher this week but headed into Thursday’s U.S. CPI inflation print with traders still treating it as a macro asset first and a crypto trade second.

According to The Block’s price page, bitcoin BTC+1.55%

 traded around $72,267 after climbing 8% over the past week. Ether ETH+1.90%

 similarly rose over 7.8% over the same period, with several altcoins rallying.

Spot bitcoin ETFs also drew $358 million in net inflows on April 9 as Morgan Stanley joins the fray, and ether funds added about $85 million, per Farside data.
The rebound followed a stretch of stronger long positioning in perpetual futures. Notably, BTC rose even as CME bitcoin futures activity recently slid to a 14-month low, reflecting weaker basis-trade demand from institutions.

Yet, analysts said that markets entered the latest U.S. inflation data release with traders still treating BTC as a macro asset first and a crypto trade second.

EUR/AUD dipped on Thursday as improving global risk sentiment and a softer USD backdrop supported Australian dollar. Risk appetite remains supported despite tensions, with Israel reportedly seeking talks with Lebanon after earlier actions threatened the U.S.-Iran ceasefire.

Shiba Inu Breakout Could Be Massive as Range Tightens and Selling Pressure Fades Shiba Inu is gearing up for a range breakout after an extended period of consolidation, with dwindling selling pressure adding to the prospect.

A push above the $0.0000060 price level for Shiba Inu (SHIB) stalled again, as the market still lacks sufficient momentum to sustain a higher trend. However, this energy is building up for SHIB as it consolidates within a price range, bringing the prospects of an upward breakout into focus.

Key Points

Shiba Inu is gearing up for a range breakout after an extended period of consolidation.

SHIB entered this channel on March 11 and has since consolidated between its upper resistance around $0.0000060 and support around $0.0000057.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) Is Not Over: Spike in Whale Activity Spotte

Due to obvious whale-driven accumulation taking place behind the scenes, Hyperliquid's native token $HYPE is once again relevant. Whales are positioning for a continuation rather than an exit, despite the fact that the price has already demonstrated a strong recovery from local lows.

Hyperliquid whales are back

According to recent data, a newly created wallet (0x96eb) deposited $5 million in USDC into Hyperliquid, with the obvious goal of accumulation. Nearly half of that capital has already been used by the wallet to buy 59,239 $HYPE, or roughly $2.39 million. That is intentional positioning, not passive exposure.

Whales continue to purchase $HYPE, and that has become the catalyst for a bullish structure to the market.

$HYPE/USDT Chart by TradingView

Technically speaking, $HYPE has emerged from its decline and is currently trading above important moving averages, such as the 50- and 100-day lines, while making an effort to recover the 200-day. This change has an impact. Prior to any significant breakout, assets that recover above midterm moving averages frequently go through periods of sustained accumulation.

#Apple stock (NASDAQ: AAPL)

saw two insider sell-offs in April 2026, according to the documents filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Both the sell-offs were conducted by top and senior-level executives, which grabbed the market's attention. While some commentators view the offloading as some trouble brewing, others acknowledged that the move was a routine trade, having nothing to do with AAPL's prospects.

The VP sold 30,002 AAPL shares when its price was hovering around the $255.35 mark. O'Brien pocketed $7.67million after the sell-off, marking the first insider high-profile sale of AAPL. It is reported that she still owns 136,810 worth of AAPL shares, which is approximately valued at $35.4 million. She frequently trades as part of a pre-arranged plan, notifying stakeholders before pulling the sale. The second high-ranking executive to sell Apple stock is none other than CEO Tim Cook. He sold the shares the same day that O'Brien parted ways with 30,002 AAPL. Cook trimmed his stock position by offloading 64,949 AAPL shares at the start of the month. The average sale price was $254.23 when he trimmed his position. The CEO pocketed $16.5 million with the offloading, making it the biggest sell-off in the management this month.In total, both the sell-offs were worth $24.2 million with 201,759 AAPL shares leaving their respective portfolios. However, the development

does not signal that there's trouble in paradise.
