Anchorpoint, our joint venture in Hong Kong with HKT and Animoca Brands, has begun the rollout of HKDAP, its Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin.
The initial focus of HKDAP (HKD At Par) in phase one is institutional payments and settlement through Beta Access, with @HashKeyGroup and OSL (@osldotcom) now live as authorised distribution partners.
This milestone follows the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA, @hkmagovhk) granting a stablecoin issuer licence to Standard Chartered and Anchorpoint in April under its new regulatory framework.
Looking ahead, we'll support the continued expansion of the HKDAP ecosystem, including potential broader retail adoption as early as the end of this year.
The launch marks an important step in bringing regulated tokenised money into real-world applications.
By combining trusted financial infrastructure with digital asset innovation, we're enabling more efficient payments and settlement while supporting Hong Kong's ambition to be a leading international digital asset hub.
