ZhongAn Bank survey: More than 3/4 of respondents hope Hong Kong will expand cryptocurrency support and use stablecoins such as Tether and USDC

Odaily Planet Daily News: A survey conducted by ZA Bank in Hong Kong over the past three weeks showed that its customers welcome buying cryptocurrencies through banks, with 81% of respondents hoping that banks can directly transfer cryptocurrencies in and out like cash, rather than simply providing cryptocurrency trading solutions. More than three-quarters of respondents hope that Hong Kong can support a wider range of cryptocurrencies and hope to be able to use mainstream stablecoins such as Tether and USDC. In addition, due to the previous hacking of ByBit cryptocurrency exchange funds, more than three-quarters of customers also expressed trust in banks as managers of their cryptocurrency funds and trust banks for risk control and fraud prevention. (LedgerInsights) Note: ZA Bank was founded by ZA International and was granted a license by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on March 27, 2019 to provide banking services through online channels. In November 2024, it announced the launch of cryptocurrency trading services on its App, allowing users to buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum through Hong Kong dollars and US dollars.
