Asian digital asset platform, OSL Group has gathered $300 million in equity financing to pursue stablecoin expansion. The firm made history by overseeing the largest publicly disclosed equity raise in Asia’s cryptocurrency industry. 

According to an official statement, OSL revealed how the funds will focus on three critical areas like acquisition, development of a compliant stablecoin, payment infrastructure, and its international business operations. The move as per the company is an attempt to stretch its global reputation. 

More so, the platform described the fundraising exercise as a landmark height that reflects how its long-term focus and crypto embracement are in line with market trends. Further, the organization indicated its intention to seek more regulatory approval across different jurisdictions. 

Underlining its growing recognition, OSL Group has expanded its infrastructure to hot crypto hubs like Japan, Australia, Europe, and Southeast Asia. In Hong Kong, the firm holds a premier status as the first exchange to receive a regulatory license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

Ivan Wong, the chief financial officer of OSL Group stated that the newly raised fund is a major milestone in the firm’s history. Wong narrated how the process illuminates the trust in the company’s digital asset strategy. 

Hong Kong warns against exposure to stablecoins amid regulatory development 

Meanwhile, the plan of OSL Group to develop a stablecoin project coincides with the recent warning of HKMA CEO, Eddie Yeu. In a blog post dated July 23, 2025, include warnings from Yeu about the excessive exposure amid the unveiling of Hong Kong’s second major policy statement on digital assets.

Yeu decried that most stablecoin projects promise unachievable utility and concepts to boost market acceptance. The CEO added that such projects could expose users to huge risks. 

Also, he mentioned that the regulator from August 1, 2025, will take serious action against the promotion of unlicensed stablecoins. As revealed, engaging in such activity will attract a fine of $6,300 and six month prison sentence. 

The warnings surfaced ahead of Hong Kong’s plans to introduce a stablecoin licensing regime by August 1. With an extensive approach, the license covers legal clarity, ecosystem growth, real-world adoption, and talent development. 

Hong Kong’s new policy places digital assets, stablecoin regulation, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization at the centre of its strategy. The region is confident that the new approach will make it a hot fintech hub.
