Digital Currency Stocks Under Heavy Institutional Scrutiny

·

Recent developments, including the upcoming August 1st enactment of Hong Kong's "Stablecoin Ordinance," the 168% first-day surge of "stablecoin pioneer" Circle's stock, and JD.com's announcement that its stablecoin has entered the second phase of sandbox testing, have collectively fueled significant activity in A-share digital currency concept stocks.

As of Friday's close, several key players recorded substantial gains. Jinshi Technology, which signed an agreement with Ant Digital Technologies to deepen RWA cooperation in new energy projects and boost digital energy development, achieved four consecutive trading limits up. Zhongjia Bochuang, whose subsidiary primarily focuses on blockchain-based digital currency applications in finance, saw three consecutive limits up. Chutian Dragon, already capable of producing various forms of digital currency wallet products, hit the daily limit up.

The Driving Forces Behind the Surge

A research report from CITIC Securities analysts, including Yang Zeyuan, dated June 2nd, highlights recent legislative progress on stablecoin-related bills in both Hong Kong and the United States. The report notes that stablecoins can provide a stable valuation transaction method for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenized assets, enhancing market liquidity. This is expected to facilitate the further landing of RWA issuance projects for mainland enterprises in Hong Kong.

Concurrently, stablecoin legislation is anticipated to indirectly boost the construction of digital currency-related payment and settlement interfaces within Hong Kong's financial sector. Financial IT enterprises with experience in digital currency/digital RMB cross-border settlement and supply chain finance projects are poised to benefit from this trend.

Key Players Receiving Institutional Attention

Choice data reveals that between May 23rd and June 6th, several digital currency concept stocks received institutional surveys. These companies represent a cross-section of the industry's innovators and established players.

Notable among them are:

Stablecoin Business Focus

Among the companies surveyed, several provided explicit details regarding their involvement in stablecoin-related businesses. The number of institutional visits each received varied significantly.

Yuxin Technology (75 institutional visits) outlined two primary ways for fintech firms to engage with stablecoins: providing supporting services and application scenarios for financial institutions, or actively participating in stablecoin issuance and scenario innovation. The company stated it is adopting both approaches within its overseas business expansion, with布局 (layout/planning) and actions predating the ordinance's release. This includes collaborating with overseas universities and financial institutions for joint innovation, with a project already receiving support from the Macao Science and Technology Fund.

Zhongke Jincai (33 visits) reported deep积累 (accumulation) in stablecoin-related business scenarios, technical reserves, and team building. The company plans to explore stablecoin business with banks, following a cooperative model between banks and tech companies, leveraging partners' global assets and business scenarios to expand applications, albeit acknowledging uncertainties in licensing.

Tianyang Tech (19 visits) is currently promoting a credit card product that utilizes stablecoins for recharge, requiring配套 (supporting/matching) upgrades to its card issuance system. The company highlighted its mature technology for accepting recharges from blockchain stablecoin wallets and noted the involvement of various stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and Hong Kong Dollar-pegged stablecoins in the primary issuance market.

Chutian Dragon (13 visits) expressed confidence in its technical strength, customer base, and service experience to participate in Hong Kong's fiat stablecoin business. With the steady advancement of its出海 (going global) strategy, the company anticipates landing more scenario projects in embedded security products and innovative financial services.

Guomai Technology (3 visits) introduced its "Guomai Coin," described as an incentive mechanism and service exchange intermediary connecting its AI agents with entity services. While possessing some stablecoin functions, its core purpose is to guide users toward activities beneficial to their physical and mental well-being. It is already integrated with the company's education services and plans to connect with more innovative service scenarios.

Other Notable Developments

Jingbeifang, while not explicitly detailing stablecoin布局 (layout/planning) during surveys, noted its longstanding expertise in underlying technologies like blockchain and smart contracts. The company stated that its products and technical capabilities in the digital RMB/digital currency bridge domain could be rapidly replicated and migrated to the stablecoin field.

GCL Energy discussed the impact of tokens and stablecoins on RWA, emphasizing RWA's role in providing a more open financing method and a decentralized market opportunity. This connects domestic green assets with overseas capital and enhances the liquidity of new energy assets.
