Conflux Network is introducing AxHKD, the Hong Kong Dollar-backed stablecoin.
Conflux Network explains that it is facilitating the beta-testing of the Hong Kong Dollar-backed stablecoin, AxHKD, on its platform.
AnchorX aims to dominate Asia’s digital currency landscape by delivering “reliable global exchanges.”
AxHKD on Conflux reportedly “guarantees a secure 1:1 peg to the HKD with high-quality reserves and regulated custodianship by OKLink Trust.”
AxHKD serves two vital roles in the financial landscape:
- Boost global payments with seamless cross-border transactions between Hong Kong/China and the world.
- Unlock new possibilities in virtual asset trading with AxHKD as a trusted fiat-on-chain solution.
As explained by its developers, Conflux is described as being a permissionless Layer 1 blockchain “connecting decentralized economies across borders and protocols.”
Migrated to hybrid PoW/PoS consensus, Conflux says that it provides “a fast, secure, and scalable blockchain environment with zero congestion, low fees, and improved network security.”
As the “regulatory-compliant” public blockchain in China, Conflux provides “a unique advantage for projects building and expanding into Asia.”
Conflux says that it has “collaborated with global brands and government entities in the region on blockchain and metaverse initiatives, including the city of Shanghai, McDonald’s China, and Oreo.”
It’s worth noting that Hong Kong has emerged as a global innovation hub. Regulators and policymakers in Hong Kong appear to be working progressively on a range of Fintech projects and even a so-called central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiative. When compared to many other jurisdictions, Hong Kong’s lawmakers seem to have adopted a more progressive approach to the digital assets and blockchain sector.
Consumers residing in the special administrative region are generally quite tech-savvy and have taken a keen interest in virtual currencies. The area is also home to many sophisticated investors and a relatively high number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs).
