Futu Securities Expands to Stablecoin Stock Trading

Futu Securities, led by CEO Leaf Hua Li, is initially supporting this feature through its Hong Kong platform.
No official statements have yet been issued by the company, except confirmations on the product page.
Stablecoin Integration to Attract New Market Participants
The introduction of stablecoins like USDT and USDC for stock trading may attract new investors to the market and provide liquidity to the trading platforms. This integration could enhance market efficiency and increase stablecoin acceptance in financial systems, aligning with global trends toward digital asset inclusion in investment strategies.
No Historical Precedent in Hong Kong for Stablecoin Use
No direct precedents exist in Hong Kong or US brokerages using stablecoin deposits for stock investments. This places Futu at the forefront of a potential trend. Stablecoin usage in financial markets could become mainstream by 2025, driven by regulatory frameworks and increased adoption, potentially influencing brokerage strategies globally.
“We expect 2025 to be ‘The year of the payment stablecoin,’ potentially creating new opportunities for a wide range of market participants.” – Leaf Hua Li, CEO, Futu Securities, Deloitte
