Barclays makes first stablecoin bet with investment in Ubyx
Barclays has made its first investment in a stablecoin-related company, Ubyx, which builds infrastructure for using stablecoins in traditional finance. Ubyx acts as a clearing and settlement layer, enabling banks and fintech apps to accept stablecoins and allowing direct deposits into bank accounts across multiple blockchains. This move is part of Barclays' broader strategy to explore regulated digital money and understand how tokenized assets can operate within existing laws. The deal reflects a trend of major banks seeking access to stablecoin infrastructure without taking on direct regulatory risks. While regulators remain cautious about financial stability, companies like Ubyx aim to bridge the gap by building compliant systems. This signals a shift toward stablecoins becoming mainstream settlement tools in the future of finance.
