Wu Jiezhuang believes that the development of stablecoins in Hong Kong will not undergo significant changes and will continue to move steadily forward.

 Hong Kong Legislative Council member Ng Kit-chung posted on social media saying, "Earlier, there were many questions about the development of Web3 in Hong Kong, including the future direction of stablecoins and the development of RWA. Since I did not respond to each of these carefully during the election process, I would like to share my views here:

I believe that the development of stablecoins in Hong Kong will not undergo major changes and will continue to progress steadily. The stablecoin regulatory bill was passed in the seventh Legislative Council after a long period of preparation and discussion. I believe the entire development will align with the actual financial environment of both the international community and Hong Kong, moving forward steadily, starting with the local market as a trial, with the goal of developing the international market and leveraging Hong Kong’s status as a financial and innovation technology center.

RWA is currently a topic widely discussed in both traditional and Web3 industries. Hong Kong has already promoted a regulatory sandbox, and it is believed that under the sandbox, the importance of compliant development and the future direction of regulation will be explored. I think different industries can boldly try to integrate Web3 technology, which I believe will promote the development of a large number of real-world applications.

The demand from developers is rapidly increasing. Over the past three years, Hong Kong has attracted many Web3 companies to develop here through open policies, and related development demands have continuously risen. The Hong Kong SAR government has been actively promoting the development of the Northern Metropolis and the Lok Ma Chau Loop area, which not only attracts enterprises to settle but also drives talent. More and more companies with Web3 public chains, compliant exchanges, underlying infrastructure, etc., are establishing a presence in Hong Kong. I also started as a developer in my early entrepreneurial days and deeply understand that the success of developers and innovation technology companies is closely linked. In the future, I will assist the industry in building a talent ecosystem and promote more developers and practitioners to settle in Hong Kong."

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion. During the earnings call, Apple guided fourth-fiscal-quarter revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, overall below the 12.1% analysts had expected. CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
