The Standard Chartered and Animoca Brands joint venture previously targeted retail access as early as the end of 2026, but its CEO declined to reaffirm that timeline. Standard Chartered-backed stablecoin venture Anchorpoint says it will take a cautious approach to opening its Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin to retail users, declining to confirm a launch date after rival HSBC rolled out RedCoin, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/cryptocurrency/article/3372060/standard-chartered-led-anchorpoint-plans-retail-stablecoin-hsbc-redcoin-launches" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>according</a> to the South China Morning Post.

Anchorpoint CEO Dominic Maffei declined to confirm that timeline at a Friday press conference, saying the company would take a prudent approach. “We believe it’s important to build the market out in a long-term, sustainable manner,” Maffei said, adding that rushing a launch “does not make sense.” The update comes after <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hsbc-launches-redcoin-hong-kong-dollar-stablecoin-payme" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HSBC launched its Hong Kong dollar-backed RedCoin</a> on Friday for the 3.3 million users of its PayMe app. <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/standard-chartered-animoca-brands-hong-kong-stablecoin-license" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Anchorpoint grew out of a partnership</a> between Standard Chartered, Animoca Brands and telecommunications provider HKT, which was announced in February 2025, following their joint participation in Hong Kong’s stablecoin issuer sandbox in July 2024.
