HashKey Exchange ("HashKey"), Hong Kong's largest licensed digital asset exchange, and Anchor Point Financial Limited ("Anchor Point Financial"), a licensed stablecoin issuer in Hong Kong, today announced that HashKey has joined as a primary authorized distributor in the first phase of institutional adoption for HKDAP ("HKD At Par"). Through this collaboration, HashKey will support the distribution, trading, and related services of HKDAP, complementing Anchor Point Financial’s ongoing efforts to expand participation and use within the regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin ecosystem.
This collaboration is a significant step in advancing the development of regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoins. Both parties will combine HashKey’s strengths as a licensed digital asset trading platform in institutional client networks and digital asset infrastructure with Anchor Financial’s issuance capabilities to promote broader market access and adoption of HKDAP, and accelerate its integration into real-world financial and commercial applications.
Effective immediately, qualified institutions and professional investors can obtain HKDAP through the HashKey app and other designated channels. HashKey has completed its first HKDAP minting and redemption transaction with qualified clients, validating the subscription and redemption process between HKDAP and fiat currency. This transaction marks a significant step toward integrating HKDAP into commercial and financial applications, laying the foundation for broader future adoption. As preparatory efforts advance and market demand matures, both parties will gradually introduce additional access channels and applications, expand to more markets, and drive the development of new use cases such as cross-border payments and settlements.
Haiyang Ru, CEO of the HashKey Exchange business unit, said: "Regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoins have attracted significant market attention. HashKey will fully leverage its platform advantages to connect issuers, financial institutions, and market participants, providing compliant, secure, and convenient market access and liquidity support for HKDAP. We look forward to collaborating with Anchor Finance to gradually expand HKDAP’s applications within a compliant framework, including payments, settlements, and tokenized assets."
Dominic Maffei, CEO and Co-founder of Anchor Point Financial, said: "As regulated stablecoins move toward real-world adoption, market access and distribution capabilities will become critical drivers of scalability. HashKey has extensive experience in serving institutional clients, digital asset markets, and regional market expansion, and has built a broad network across Asia and the Middle East. We look forward to expanding HKDAP’s market participation through this partnership and advancing the adoption of regulated stablecoins in Hong Kong and the broader region."
As the first phase of HKDAP institutional adoption continues to progress,碇點金融 and HashKey look forward to collaborating with market participants in the digital assets, financial services, and payments sectors to explore further commercial applications of regulated tokenized currency. Both parties will continue to advance the development of a trustworthy and interconnected ecosystem to support innovation and market adoption, and to promote the long-term growth of Hong Kong’s digital finance market.
