What’s OneCash?
OneCash is an Asian fintech platform focused on stablecoins. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies, such as, in this case, the Hong Kong dollar (HK$), or to the price of commodities, like gold. The purpose of a stablecoin is to combine the agility of a cryptocurrency with the stability of a national currency. At the moment, OneCash’s stablecoin solutions center on Asian fiat currencies.
What’s HKC?
HKC is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Hong Kong dollar, meaning the price of 1 HKC always remains equal to that of 1 HK$.
How does that work? HKC is issued by Definition Islander Technology Limited (“DITL”) and is backed 100% in cash. In order to maintain HKC’s stable peg, one HK$ is purchased for every new HKC token minted, and one HK$ is sold for every HKC burned. HKC’s purpose is to help buyers using HK$ easily access crypto markets.
