JD.com, China’s $90 billion e-commerce giant, is launching a stablecoin initiative to slash cross-border payment costs by up to 90%. The move comes as the GENIUS Act gains traction in the U.S., signaling a global shift toward regulated digital currencies.

  • JD.com’s stablecoin will debut by 2025, backed by the Hong Kong dollar, with plans to support additional currencies.
  • The GENIUS Act, passed by the U.S. Senate, mandates 1:1 reserves and AML compliance for stablecoin issuers.
  • Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Ordinance, effective August 1, positions the city as a leader in regulated digital currencies.
