Stock News
Jul 16, 2025

LianLian DigiTech (02598) jumped more than 7% during Hong Kong trading before paring gains to a 5.36% advance at HK$14.54 by press time, with turnover reaching HK$285 million. The fintech firm announced a placement of 38.4 million shares at HK$10.25 apiece, expecting net proceeds of approximately HK$387 million. Funds will be allocated to: blockchain innovation in global payments (50%), international licensing expansion (30%), and general corporate purposes (20%).

Xiangcai Securities noted stablecoins' blockchain-based payment-settlement simultaneity offers significant efficiency and cost advantages, positioning cross-border payments as a prime application scenario. LianLian's subsidiary DFXLabs secured Hong Kong's VATP license in 2024, becoming one of only 11 SFC-authorized virtual asset trading platforms. As the sole licensee with authentic trade payment scenarios, LianLian can potentially offer stablecoin trading and fiat on/off-ramp services to existing clients.

Hong Kong's Stablecoin Ordinance takes effect August 1. Should the company obtain a stablecoin issuance license, it could significantly expand its payment and virtual asset business operations.
