Standard Chartered-backed Anchorpoint says it is not rushing retail stablecoin

Anchorpoint, the stablecoin joint venture led by Standard Chartered and Animoca Brands, said it is not rushing its retail stablecoin launch. The venture had previously targeted retail access as early as the end of 2026, but its CEO declined to reaffirm that timeline. The delay signals a slower path to retail stablecoin adoption for a major bank-backed project, though no concrete change to crypto markets results from the comments.
