According to Odaily Planet Daily, Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), stated at a Legislative Council meeting on Monday that the HKMA plans to issue its first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses in March, with a very limited initial number. The HKMA has received 36 applications so far, and the approval process is nearing completion. The review focuses on risk management, anti-money laundering controls, reserve asset quality, and application scenarios.

According to a report by Cointelegraph on February 2nd, major Ethereum treasury companies are facing huge paper losses due to the recent decline in Ethereum prices. BitMine, the largest holder, has unrealized losses of approximately $6.95 billion due to an average cost of $3,883; the second-largest Ethereum treasury company, SharpLink Gaming, also has paper losses of $1.09 billion. These continued losses are testing these companies' fundraising capabilities. The market capitalization-to-net-value (mNAV) ratios of the two companies have fallen to 1 and 0.92 respectively. Ratios below 1 will make it more difficult for companies to raise funds through new share issuances, thus limiting their ability to purchase crypto assets. Asset management firm Pantera Capital predicts that the crypto treasury industry may undergo a "brutal reshuffle" in 2026, with only the most well-capitalized companies surviving.
