Hong Kong-based crypto custodian, Hex Trust, was among the first recipients of this license. Furthermore, the Central Bank of the UAE announced its ambitious plans for a central bank digital currency (<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/growing-opposition-emerges-to-prevent-the-launch-of-central-bank-digital-currency-cbdc-in-the-united-states\/\"><strong>CBDC<\/strong><\/a>), with the first phase of a digital dirham set to be completed within a year.<\/p>\n<h3>Hong Kong and UAE Collaborate on mBridge Blockchain and CBDC Exploration<\/h3>\n<p>Hong Kong and the UAE have been collaborating on the development of mBridge, a blockchain platform designed to support multiple CBDCs and address the limitations of existing cross-border payment systems. As part of a trial, real corporate transactions have been conducted using mBridge. This collaborative effort indicates a shared interest in exploring the potential of CBDCs for cross-border trade settlements, which could lead to faster transfers, reduced costs, and decreased dependence on the U.S. dollar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 100% + 100 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

Meanwhile, China is progressing rapidly with the development of its own CBDC, the digital yuan. The digital yuan has been gradually rolled out to the public, with civil servants in the city of Changshu being fully paid using the e-CNY. However, Hong Kong has recently announced a pilot for an electronic form of the Hong Kong dollar, indicating that the digital yuan may not be introduced in the region in the near future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>100% up to $1000 + 25% Cashback!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
