Traditional financial giants are also beginning to pay attention to stablecoins. UK-based old bank Barclays has just announced its investment in Ubyx, a US stablecoin settlement company. This is their first serious move in the stablecoin field, marking that this century-old financial institution is quietly布局 the new ecosystem of digital currencies. Ubyx was founded in 2025 and has already gained some presence in the stablecoin settlement track. The logic behind Barclays' move is clear—traditional finance is trying to understand and participate in this wave of digital currency. Stablecoins are not just hype concepts but are truly application scenarios of financial infrastructure, attracting increasing institutional capital attention.

Barclays is really serious now; even the century-old bank can't sit still. As for stablecoins, they are gradually shifting from hype to infrastructure, and traditional finance's involvement is only a matter of time.

Wow, has Barclays finally lost patience? Now traditional finance is really scared. The stablecoin is about to take off; this is the true capital game. Speaking of Ubyx, this company was established just over a year ago and managed to attract a century-old bank to invest, they must have something. Hmm... still the same old saying, real application scenarios are the key; the era of hype around concepts is quickly coming to an end. This move by Barclays is equivalent to official recognition of the value of stablecoins; many follow suit from here on.

Barclays has also entered the scene. Are stablecoins really no longer just air... Is traditional finance being forced into this, or do they truly understand it?

Barclays is afraid of being left behind by the times and has finally realized it. Stablecoins are indeed the infrastructure of the future, not just pure speculation.

Barclays has started playing with stablecoins, traditional finance really can't sit still anymore Stablecoins are indeed not just a hype; when big institutions get involved, it’s convincing Wait, Ubyx was only established a year ago and attracted Barclays? Is there really something substantial behind it or is it just hype? Century-old banks have to lower their heads and learn about digital currencies; times have changed Is traditional finance being forced to enter the market or do they truly understand the value of blockchain? Interesting Stablecoin settlement is indeed a necessity; no wonder institutions are eyeing it Barclays' investment signal is quite clear, indicating that the stablecoin track has truly gained footing But be cautious, big players entering might also be to cut the leeks, as history has shown many times The move of stablecoins from the fringe to the mainstream can be seen in this step.
