More →Standard Chartered-led Anchorpoint says it’s not rushing retail stablecoin
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.

Brazilian stocks fell sharply after Lula's surprise election victory.
Brazilian President Lula's surprise victory in Sunday's election sent the country's stock market tumbling. Lula won about 51.8% of the vote, defeating right-wing Senator Bolsonaro. The election result triggered a sell-off among investors, with major stocks and ETFs falling sharply. The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) fell more than 27% in after-hours trading. In addition, Tokyo-listed Brazil stock ETFs fell 15%, and futures linked to the Brazilian real dropped 10% during Monday's Asian trading session. The market reaction was severe, with investors expressing concern over Lula's economic policies, especially given that Brazil's public debt exceeds 82% of GDP. Although the Lula government plans to achieve a budget surplus of about 1.3% by 2030, investors are skeptical about the lack of a detailed spending-cut plan. The market is also watching whether Lula will appoint a finance minister capable of reassuring investors and negotiating fiscal reform with the opposition-controlled Congress.
