Circle CEO: China Ready to Launch Yuan-Stablecoin Within 3-5 Years

Jeremy Allaire, Circle's CEO, informed Reuters while visiting Hong Kong, that it is a “huge opportunity” for a stablecoin tied to the yuan, saying that China can launch such a currency in 3 to 5 years as cryptocurrencies become part of global commerce.

Shift in Policies Evident
* Reuters Report: In August 2025, Reuters reported that China was exploring the possibility of launching a yuan-based stablecoin to facilitate international use of RMB
* From Ban to Building: China had banned crypto transactions and mining operations in 2021. Now considering stablecoins as cross-border payment systems
* Allaire's Standpoint: He had been suggesting since 2023 that stablecoins can surpass CBDCs in promoting international RMB use

Convertibility Challenge
To have a successful yuan stablecoin, the country would have to be able to fully convert its currency into other currencies with no strict capital control.
* Present Situation: Capital controls are key to Chinese economic strategy
* CNH vs CNY: The offshore version works within the framework of the capital controls while the onshore does not
* Professional Opinion: In case of lacking convertibility, the stable coin cannot exist

Stablecoin Market Environment
* Global Stablecoin Market: About $315B at present
* Dominance: Stablecoins are dominated by the dollar-tethered tokens such as Tether and USDC
* Main Point: Is China going for the work-around option of stablecoins or the commitment?
