Solana Foundation collaborates with regulated issuer Anchorpoint Financial to enable HKDAP stablecoin issuance on its network. Solana (SOL) is trading at ₹8,983 ($94.27). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto Economy, with live market data added, as of Fri, 30 Oct 2026 19:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This partnership positions Solana to tap into Hong Kong's regulated stablecoin market, estimated at $14 billion, leveraging the city's growing crypto-friendly regulatory environment. It also strengthens Solana's presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Key takeaways
  • Solana partners with HKMA-regulated Anchorpoint Financial.
  • HKDAP stablecoin to be natively issued and redeemed on Solana.
  • Hong Kong's stablecoin market is valued at $14 billion.

The Solana Foundation has announced a strategic partnership with Anchorpoint Financial, a financial institution regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and backed by Standard Chartered.

This collaboration will facilitate the native issuance and redemption of the HKDAP stablecoin on the Solana Layer 1 network. The move is part of Solana's broader strategy to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Anchorpoint Financial, being regulated by the HKMA, brings a level of regulatory compliance and institutional credibility to the partnership. This is particularly significant given Hong Kong's recent efforts to establish itself as a crypto-friendly financial hub.

The partnership comes at a time when the total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.66 trillion, though the market is currently experiencing a downturn with Bitcoin down 4.56% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index is at 30, indicating a state of fear in the market.

Solana's native token, SOL, is currently priced at $94.27, having dropped 6.64% in the past day and 9.81% over the last week. The market cap of SOL is $55.6 billion.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₹9,468.95 (about $94.27), down 6.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
