Hua Xia Bank, a publicly traded financial institution with ties to the Chinese government, issued 4.5 billion yuan ($600 million) in tokenized bonds on Wednesday, aiming to streamline clearing processes by reducing the need for intermediaries during auctions. According to reports, these on-chain government bonds were issued by Hua Xia Financial Leasing, a subsidiary of Hua Xia Bank, which is a state-controlled commercial bank. The bonds offer a three-year fixed yield of 1.84% to investors. The $600 million bond tranche was exclusively available to holders of China’s digital renminbi, also known as the digital yuan. Tokenized bonds have the potential to reduce the number of intermediaries required for transaction clearing, thereby accelerating settlement times and lowering overall transaction costs. China's stance on stablecoins and cryptocurrencies has shifted over time. The country has chosen to prioritize the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and state-approved applications of permissioned blockchain technology, particularly as digital assets gain geostrategic importance.

The Chinese government's approach to stablecoins and cryptocurrencies remains dynamic, oscillating between strict prohibitions and regulatory adjustments that allow private sector participation. In early August, authorities cracked down on local brokers and financial firms organizing stablecoin seminars, instructing them to cancel scheduled events and cease publishing related research, citing concerns about potential fraudulent activities. However, subsequent reports suggested that China was considering legalizing privately issued yuan-backed stablecoins to bolster the fiat currency's international presence. Chinese tech giants like Alibaba, Ant Group, and JD.com initially viewed this as an opportunity to develop yuan-pegged tokens. However, a warning from Beijing in October regarding private stablecoins put these projects on hold. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the nation's central bank, established a digital yuan operations center in Shanghai in September. This hub will oversee cross-border settlements and further development of blockchain-related initiatives. Magazine: China Officially Hates Stablecoins; DBS Trades Bitcoin Options: Asia Express.
