Standard Chartered-backed Anchorpoint Financial has begun rolling out a regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, initially giving institutional distributors and professional investors access to a digital currency designed for payments, settlement and tokenized financial markets.
The launch moves Hong Kong's stablecoin push from licensing into real-world deployment and gives businesses an alternative to a global market overwhelmingly dominated by tokens tied to the U.S. dollar. Anchorpoint plans to broaden access to retail users as early as the end of 2026, depending on market conditions.
