JD-SW (09618.HK) and BABA-W's (09988.HK) (BABA.US) affiliate Ant Group are lobbying the People's Bank of China (PBOC) to authorize the issuance of a stablecoin based on the RMB to counter the growing influence of USD-pegged cryptocurrencies, Reuters reported, citing sources.

According to the report, the two companies are proposing that China should allow the launch of an offshore RMB-pegged stablecoin in Hong Kong to promote the global use of the RMB and resist the growing influence of the USD in the digital currency space.
