Hong Kong's Digital RMB Development Accelerates, PBoC and HKMA Discuss CBDC Wallet Upgrade
**March 26 — Christopher Hui, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, said in response to a legislator’s question that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) are exploring plans and feasibility to upgrade digital currency wallets. The goals include raising transaction limits, expanding use cases, and improving user experience.
Relevant policy and technical details still require further discussion, so no specific plan or timeline has been set, Hui noted.
He also disclosed the latest figures on Hong Kong’s digital yuan (e-CNY) progress: local promotion has made breakthrough gains, with sharp rises in wallet openings and merchant acceptance. Hong Kong’s digital payment era has officially entered the fast track.

On-chain data shows Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) has dropped below 0.25, placing it in the “Hope/Fear Zone.” CryptoQuant analyst The Enigma Trader noted this means ~40% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply is in a loss position, while the Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 15 (indicating “extreme fear”) — reflecting “pain and uncertainty.” He added that a NUPL rebound above 0.25 would signal a shift to the optimistic zone, a transition historically aligned with strengthening price momentum.
