Notabene Provides Trust Infrastructure to Support Distributors of Anchorpoint's HKDAP Stablecoin

Supporting Travel Rule-compliant, on-chain settlement as HKDAP's institutional rollout expands into cross-border payments and tokenised asset settlement

Hong Kong, 8 October 2026 – Notabene, the trust layer for global money movement, today announced it is providing Travel Rule compliance and transaction authorisation infrastructure to support authorised distributors of HKDAP ("HKD At Par"), the regulated Hong Kong Dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Anchorpoint Financial Limited ("Anchorpoint"), a Hong Kong-licensed stablecoin issuer. HKDAP is designed to support secure, efficient and compliant digital value transfers across payments, treasury and tokenised asset ecosystems.

HKDAP has entered its Beta Access in August 2026, with Anchorpoint's authorised distributors, including  regulated financial institutions and licensed virtual asset exchanges, handling subscription, redemption, and fiat conversion for institutions, corporates, and professional investors. Given that HKDAP settles on a public blockchain network, distributors are subject to Travel Rule obligations requiring counterparty verification and pre-transaction compliance checks as adoption extends into cross border payments and the settlement of tokenised real-world assets. Notabene's enterprise grade transaction authorisation platform automates this Travel Rule compliance, giving distributing institutions real time counterparty verification and pre transaction authorisation before any transfer settles, applying the same trust standards regulated institutions already rely on for traditional cross-border payments. 

Notabene's network connects thousands of trusted counterparties across over 100 jurisdictions, giving Anchorpoint's HKDAP authorised distributors immediate, Travel Rule-compliant counterparty reach and enabling connections of institutional clients without building bilateral compliance connections on a one-to-one basis. 

To support HKDAP ecosystem, Notabene offers authorised distributors that join its network a dedicated onboarding and support team, and regional data residency options for institutions with data sovereignty requirements. The aim is to help distributors demonstrate to institutional clients their readiness to meet Travel Rule obligations, while bringing key counterparties onto the same open network of thousands of regulated institutions. Each distributor and counterparty that connects makes the network more useful for the next, extending compliant reach across the market. 

"Financial institutions distributing HKDAP expect a stablecoin transfer to meet the same standard as a wire: you know who is on the other side before the money moves. We're putting dedicated teams and regional infrastructure behind Anchorpoint's authorised distributors so that check happens in real time and never slows a payment down. That's what it takes for HKDAP to be used for cross-border settlement at an institutional scale."
—Daniel Nicolas, VP of Global Sales at Notabene

"Trust is the foundation of every financial network. Technology can make transactions faster, but sustainable commercial growth happens when institutions have confidence in the people, standards and safeguards behind every interaction. With Notabene bringing its global capabilities and network to the region, this strengthens the infrastructure needed for the next phase of digital finance and reinforces Hong Kong's role as a leading gateway between traditional and digital economies,"
—Milton Lam, Chief Commercial Officer & Co-Founder of Anchorpoint
