Anchorpoint Financial Limited is a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (SCBHK) and a joint venture co-established by SCBHK, HKT, and Animoca Brands in February 2025. Its initial goal is to build and advance the regulated HKD-backed stablecoin HKDAP (HKD At Par), which is intended to serve as a secure tokenised medium of exchange for the digital economy, and to facilitate international payments and capital flows. On 10 April 2026, Anchorpoint became one of the first two entities (alongside HSBC) granted a stablecoin issuer licence by the HKMA under the Stablecoins Ordinance that came into effect on 1 August 2025. The company adopts a B2B2C model, leveraging authorised distributors to provide public access to HKDAP, with a phased issuance planned from Q2 2026.
