The partnership will pave the way for faster and more cost-effective payments. Traditional methods can be slow and expensive due to processing times and currency exchange fees.

Additionally, businesses will benefit from seamless settlement in the stablecoin, eliminating the risk of currency fluctuations and simplifying international trade.
Speaking on the collaboration, Rita Liu, Chief Executive Officer, RD Technologies, stated:
We are pleased to be working with Chainlink Labs, as its proven track record of maintaining the highest standard of security and reliability is in line with RD Technologies’ mission of developing a trusted and transparent stablecoin for multiple business use cases across the globe. We are confident that our integration will help facilitate the adoption of HKDR in cross-border payments, real-world assets tokenisation, and other onchain finance applications; it will also empower us to facilitate the development of Hong Kong as a global Web 3.0 and virtual assets hub.
Colin Cunningham, Head of RWA & Alliances at Chainlink Labs also celebrated the collaboration, pointing out, “Settling transactions across chains with HKDR will accelerate the adoption of tokenised assets and enable faster, more cost-efficient cross-border payments.”
