PANews November 8 news: the official website of JINGDONG Coinlink Technology Hong Kong Limited, JD.com's stablecoin issuance entity, is currently inaccessible, and the specific time it went offline is uncertain.

JINGDONG Coinlink was selected in July 2024 for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's stablecoin issuer sandbox, but the first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority this April was granted only to Anchorpoint, a joint venture led by Standard Chartered Bank, and HSBC Bank; JINGDONG Coinlink was not among them.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Stablecoins are digital assets that typically maintain a fixed exchange relationship with a certain fiat currency. The article states that the JD Coin Chain official website is inaccessible, but it does not confirm when the website went offline, the reason, or whether the project has been terminated.
Why it matters to readers
The official website status and licensing situation may influence external judgment of the project's current progress, but the existing information is insufficient to confirm the project's final status.
When seeing "official website inaccessible," one should not directly equate it with the project having ceased; it is also necessary to distinguish between company registration status, regulatory sandbox inclusion, and a formal license.
Risks and unknowns
The exact time and reason for the official website's shutdown remain uncertain.
JD Coin Chain did not obtain one of Hong Kong's first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses, but it remains unknown whether it will obtain a relevant license in the future.
It remains unknown whether JD Blockchain or JD's official side will confirm the reason for the official website going offline and the project status.
The subsequent license list or regulatory announcements from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority are unknown.
