Where AI helps Hong Kong’s newly licensed stablecoin and virtual-asset sector — compliance, KYC and monitoring — within HKMA and SFC expectations.

Hong Kong’s new licensed stablecoin and virtual-asset sector has heavy compliance demands. AI can help — within strict regulatory expectations. Here is where.
The regulatory backdrop
The Stablecoins Ordinance took effect on 1 August 2025, with the HKMA granting the first issuer licences in April 2026; virtual-asset trading platforms are SFC-licensed. Both bring strict AML and conduct obligations.
Where AI helps
KYC and AML transaction monitoring, market-surveillance analytics, compliance and reporting automation, and customer support — all areas where volume is high and accuracy matters.
Doing it within the rules
AI here must meet HKMA and SFC expectations and the PDPO, with human oversight for high-stakes decisions. osFoundry’s managed cloud pins data to the US, EU or Japan — it does not currently offer a Hong Kong managed region (its nearest managed region is Japan). To keep data in Hong Kong, the honest path is self-hosting osFoundry (BYO Cloud) inside a Hong Kong cloud region such as AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) ap-east-1, Microsoft Azure East Asia (Hong Kong SAR) or Google Cloud asia-east2 (Hong Kong), or running models locally on-device.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Hong Kong businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
