EX.IO Welcomes Anchorpoint Financial’s Launch of HKDAP Phase 1 Application, Looks Forward to Leveraging Its RWA Strengths in Distribution to Jointly Advance Hong Kong’s Compliant Digital Asset Ecosystem

Hong Kong, 12 August 2026 — EX.IO, Hong Kong’s leading licensed virtual asset trading platform, today welcomes and supports the formal launch of the first-phase institutional application of the regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin HKDAP (HKD At Par) by Anchorpoint Financial Technology Limited (Anchorpoint Financial).

EX.IO notes that Anchorpoint Financial, as one of the first stablecoin issuers licensed by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) under the Stablecoins Ordinance, is adopting a public-blockchain-based B2B2C model. HKDAP is expected to be made available first to authorised distributors and professional investors, with a clear focus on practical commercial use cases including cross-border payments and the settlement of tokenised real-world assets (RWA). EX.IO believes that the efficient transfer and settlement mechanisms of HKDAP are highly aligned with the market’s urgent demand for efficient, programmable and compliant settlement tools, and will serve as an important catalyst for the further development of Hong Kong’s digital asset sector and the broader financial industry.

As an active proponent of RWA in Hong Kong, EX.IO has recently achieved a series of important milestones in the tokenised asset space: successfully hosting the inaugural Token Planet Demo Day, which showcased its AI-powered RWA equity issuance model with potential secondary liquidity; progressively offering compliant tokenised products backed by gold, silver, equities, bonds and other major assets in Hong Kong; and, in June 2026, receiving expanded approvals that made it one of the first platforms in Hong Kong authorised to provide both virtual asset custody and the distribution of traditional securities. Platform trading volume has also surpassed US$2 billion in less than a year. We believe these achievements are the result of Hong Kong’s proactive cultivation of a compliant digital asset environment and are highly consistent with HKDAP’s stated vision of supporting RWA trading and settlement.

At EX.IO, we look forward to becoming one of the authorised distributors and application partners of HKDAP. By fully integrating the regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin with our RWA ecosystem, we aim to provide institutional clients with more efficient conversion, settlement and liquidity management solutions, further shorten the cycle from tokenised asset issuance to circulation, and reduce related transaction costs for market participants.

Ms. Chen Wu, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of EX.IO, said: “EX.IO believes that the launch of HKDAP’s first-phase institutional application marks an important step toward the real-world deployment of regulated tokenised currency in Hong Kong. Over the past year, EX.IO’s progress in Token Planet, multiple RWA products and regulatory approvals has been highly complementary to the vision of a compliant, 24/7 settlement infrastructure such as HKDAP. We look forward to working closely with Anchorpoint Financial and partners across Hong Kong’s compliant digital asset ecosystem to put regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoins to practical use in RWA trading and cross-border payment scenarios, jointly enhancing the efficiency and credibility of Hong Kong’s digital asset market.”

Looking ahead, EX.IO believes that as more stakeholders join and potential applications advance, compliant Hong Kong dollar stablecoins will become a key bridge connecting traditional finance with the RWA ecosystem, accelerate global capital flows, and further consolidate Hong Kong’s position as a leading international financial centre and Asia’s digital asset hub. At EX.IO, we will continue to collaborate with partners of all kinds, prioritise compliance, and actively support the sustainable development of Hong Kong’s stablecoin, RWA and broader Web2+3 financial ecosystem.
