Standard Charterd launched Spot Trading against Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) via its institutional cryptography platform, expanding its presence in digital assets, as well as American regulations and the attention of investors are growing strongly to stablecoins.
The launch follows a series of high -level meetings in Washington, New York and Boston, where Geoffrey Kendrick, manager of the bank’s digital asset research, spent the week from July 7 to July 11 to engage with cryptographic native companies, bitcoin miners, funds and political decision -makers.
According to Kendrick, almost 90% of discussions focused on stablecoins, despite the bitcoin of new records.
Regulatory sales
The interest in Stablecoins has increased as Genius Act, an American bill which aims to establish clear rules for digital assets supported by Fiat, approach to adoption.
Kendrick said the law could become the law this week, preparing the way for rapid expansion of the American Stablescoin market and unlocking a broader adoption between financial institutions and public sector entities.
Kendrick noted that customers are now planning a $ 750 billion market size by the end of 2026, compared to around 250 billion dollars on July 15.
With the regulatory clarity, the issue of Stablecoin should widen considerably, not only through the main financial players, but potentially also regional banks and local governments exploring tokenized cash instruments.
Beyond the adoption, discussions have also discussed macroeconomic implications: possible changes in the US Treasury curve, long-term effects on the liquidity of the dollar, reform of the American payment system and the risks of financial stability based on stables on emerging markets.
Stable infrastructure
The Chartered Standard Report suggests that the wider sector of Stablescoin can evolve faster than previously expected.
Kendrick stressed that the law on the clarity of the digital asset market, a distinct legislative effort, could pass at the end of September or early October, potentially accelerating the tokenization of active world (RWAS) and the integration of DEFI rails.
The chain data shows a coherent growth of stablecoin assessments in all wallet sizes, including centralized exchanges, DEFI platforms and medium-sized retail portfolios, indicating an enlargement of use cases and increasing global demand.
Kendrick’s conclusions and the launch of the Chartered Standard negotiation office reflect a central change in the institutional cryptography strategy. While the role of Bitcoin as a reserve of value remains intact, the agenda of infrastructure and policies now appear firmly focused on stablecoins as a skeleton of programmable money.
