OSL Strengthens Asia’s Digital Asset Ecosystem with Listing of State-Supervised Gold-Backed Stablecoin USDKG

HONG KONG, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OSL Group (863.HK) (OSL), a global stablecoin payment and trading platform, today announced that its Hong Kong-licensed digital asset exchange OSL HK has officially listed USDKG, the gold-backed stablecoin issued by the Kyrgyz Republic. The listing marks a significant step in bringing a state-supervised, asset-backed digital currency to one of the world’s most established licensed virtual asset markets.

Pegged 1:1 to the U.S. Dollar and fully backed by physical gold reserves, USDKG is now accessible to professional investors through OSL’s institutional-grade infrastructure. The initial trading pair USDKG/USDT is now available to professional investors across OSL HK’s over-the-counter (OTC) platform.

The listing of USDKG aligns with OSL's commitment to contribute to the development of a secure and compliant digital asset ecosystem in Asia and beyond. It also expands USDKG’s reach into new markets through a regulated platform aligned with institutional standards, supporting its use in cross-border settlement and broader financial applications.

Jason Liu, Global Exchange COO of OSL, said: “OSL is dedicated to providing investors with access to regulated, innovative assets. The listing of USDKG not only enriches OSL's product offerings for the market, but also strengthens its compliant stablecoin ecosystem, as the introduction of a state-backed, compliant digital asset further underscores OSL's credibility and leadership within the industry.”

Biibolot Mamytov, CEO of Gold Dollar (USDKG), said: “This listing represents an important milestone for USDKG as we enter one of the most established and highly regulated digital asset markets globally. Hong Kong is widely regarded as the gold standard for digital asset regulation, and working with OSL reflects our focus on transparency, gold-backed reserves, and institutional-grade infrastructure.”
