Anchorpoint and HashKey Exchange Partner on HKDAP Beta Access

HashKey Exchange joins as a distribution partner to support the ecosystem development and wider adoption of HKDAP, the first regulated dollar stablecoin

HONG KONG, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HashKey Exchange ("HashKey"), Hong Kong's largest* licensed digital asset exchange, and Anchorpoint Financial Limited ("Anchorpoint"), a Hong Kong-licensed stablecoin issuer, today announced that HashKey has joined HKDAP ("HKD At Par") Beta Access as a key authorised distributor. Through the partnership, HashKey will support access to HKDAP ("HKD At Par"), participating in its distribution, trading and related service support as Anchorpoint expands participation in the regulated HKD stablecoin ecosystem.

This collaboration marks a further step towards advancing the development of regulated HKD stablecoins in Hong Kong. By bringing together HashKey's advantages as a licensed digital asset trading platform - specifically in institutional market access, digital asset infrastructure, and Anchorpoint's issuance capabilities, both parties aim to support broader access to HKDAP and accelerate its integration into real-world financial and commercial applications.

Starting today, eligible institutions and professional investors will be able to access HKDAP through HashKey app platform and other supported channels as part of the ongoing Beta Access rollout. HashKey has also successfully completed its first HKDAP minting and redemption transaction with eligible clients, including seamless fiat on- and off-ramp capabilities between fiat currency and HKDAP. The transaction lays out the foundation for broader adoption and future commercial applications. Additional access channels and use cases will be introduced as operational readiness and market demand evolve, including expansion into additional markets and support for new cross-border payment and settlement applications.

Haiyang Ru, Chief Executive Officer at HashKey Exchange, stated, "Regulated HKD stablecoins have garnered significant market attention. HashKey will actively leverage its role as a platform connecting issuer, financial institutions, and market participants to provide compliant, secure, and convenient market access and circulation support for HKDAP. Through our collaboration with Anchorpoint, we look forward to supporting the growth of HKDAP and enabling new opportunities across payments, settlement and tokenised finance."

Dominic Maffei, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Anchorpoint, said, "As the regulated stablecoin ecosystem continues to develop, distribution will play an increasingly important role in connecting tokenised money with real-world users and applications. HashKey's institutional market expertise, strong presence across Asia and the Middle East, and understanding of regional market dynamics make them an ideal partner as we expand participation in the HKDAP ecosystem. Together, we will continue supporting broader adoption of regulated tokenised money across Hong Kong and the wider region."

As HKDAP Beta Access continues to expand, Anchorpoint and HashKey look forward to working with market participants across the digital asset, financial services and payments sectors to explore new applications for regulated digital money. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to building a trusted and interoperable ecosystem that supports innovation, adoption, and the long-term development of Hong Kong's digital financial infrastructure.
