Hong Kong SFC and HKMA Licensed Firms
Regulated register market (sfc licensing + vatps, hkma authorized institutions and svf licensees). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
Where this market publishes its structure

- HKMA Register of licensed stablecoin issuers not machine-readable: not read: out of this market's scope (3 names only)
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
