ChinaAMC launches world's first tokenised yuan fund amid Hong Kong stablecoin push
ChinaAMC (HK), the Hong Kong arm of Chinese fund house China Asset Management, launched the world's first yuan-denominated tokenised fund on Thursday, aligning with the city's regulatory framework for stablecoins, which is expected to stimulate demand for digital assets. While a yuan stablecoin is currently unavailable, mainland Chinese officials have softened their stance on digital currencies and the broader digital asset space. With Hong Kong's stablecoin ordinance taking effect from August 1, the city could see issuances of stablecoins pegged to currencies such as the Hong Kong dollar, US dollar and the yuan. 'Our tokenised financial products are designed to welcome the arrival of stablecoins,' said Tian Gan, CEO of ChinaAMC (HK), in a briefing. 'If the policy can truly be implemented, I believe we will be the first financial instrument capable of carrying interest-bearing assets linked to stablecoins.' As stablecoins are not an investment instruments and do not generate interest, Gan said his firm's financial products would help address this issue and support holders in deploying stablecoins. 09:07 Hong Kong charts new phase as digital asset hub with policy blueprint, says FSTB chief Chris Hui Hong Kong charts new phase as digital asset hub with policy blueprint, says FSTB chief Chris Hui 'We believe that such products, when combined with stablecoins and the digital yuan, will promote financial innovation and support the internationalisation of the yuan,' said Matthew Chan, the head of product and investment solutions at Citic Securities Brokerage (HK), a distributor of ChinaAMC's tokenised funds. Gan said offshore yuan liquidity in Hong Kong could increase fivefold to 5 trillion yuan (US$696 billion) in five years, suggesting that once offshore yuan stablecoins emerge, tokenised funds in the Chinese currency were likely to become popular.

US-China trade deal may resemble phase 1 agreement from Trump's first term: ex-official
The US-China deal under negotiation is likely to bear similarities to the phase one trade agreement from Donald Trump's first term, according to a former senior official in that administration – offering clues to what the highly anticipated pact may look like just weeks before a trade truce between the two rival economies is set to expire. The agreement is 'very likely to resemble, in its broad contours, the phase one trade deal negotiated between 2017 and 2020, and at the heart of that was a substantial purchase of US agricultural and industrial goods', said Stephen Biegun, deputy secretary of state under Donald Trump from 2019 to 2021, at the Aspen Security Forum on Wednesday. Under the deal struck in 2020, China agreed to buy an additional US$200 billion worth of American goods and services over two years compared to 2017 levels. Much of that deal did not materialise, partly due to the economic devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic that began soon after the agreement was signed. Trump officials have, to varying degrees, signalled a desire to revive the deal . On the first day of his second term, the US president signed an executive order directing a review of China's compliance with the agreement. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is leading the current trade negotiations, has cited Beijing's failure to meet its commitments as something to 'take into account' – and called the phase one deal a 'road map' for current talks. Explaining why he expects a similar framework this time, Biegun said Chinese officials have recognised that they have to 'pay a certain price' to create 'at least some temporary balance in the US-China trade relationship'. 'The [US] president uses the trade balance as his singular yardstick to measure the economic fairness in bilateral relations with any country around the world, including allies,' Biegun explained. 'And it's no different in the case of China.'
