Annum Capital Publishes Stablecoin Report for Family Offices

Written exclusively for family offices and wealth managers
Historical perspectives and practical guidance

HONG KONG, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Annum Capital, a leading financial services group in Hong Kong, today released "Flying Cash: Rise of Stablecoins" - a report that discusses historical precedents and ongoing evolution of stablecoins and provides insights for family offices and wealth managers at a time when technological maturity, regulatory clarity, and rising institutional demand are converging to drive the rise of stablecoins.

This report is co-authored by Annum Capital, Deane Consulting and Anndy Lian, and supported by global firms including Schroders Capital, FTSE Russell, FactSet, Aberdeen, Marex, Synpulse as well as Hong Kong's local institutions such as Family Office Association of Hong Kong (FOAHK), China Family Office Research Institute, uSmart, Easyview, and Turoid.

• This report examines the evolution of asset-backed, privately-issued instruments of value transfer, drawing parallels from financial innovations in ancient China (e.g. "flying cash" in Tang dynasty) to more recent incarnations including stablecoins.
• The report narrates the birth of USDT and USDC, and recounts how stablecoins have gone mainstream when the stars were finally aligned. The report reviews global regulatory stance towards stablecoins, from initial ambivalence to gradual encouragement to potential jurisdictional competition on the horizons.
• The economic implications of stablecoins are explored, including digital dollarization in emerging markets, new dynamics in the US deficit calculus, challenges to policy independence, and how the reduced friction in payment can impact the velocity of money and market volatilities.
• The report also surveys the broader digital assets ecosystem - issuers, exchanges, infrastructure providers, custodians, corporate adopters, and early movers in Hong Kong.

This report is the first publication of the Annum Capital Digital Finance Whitepaper Series, a multi-year collaboration project between Annum Capital and its partners in traditional and digital finance.
