Major banks and fintech firms are entering the stablecoin space<\/strong>, aiming to carve out a share of the growing cross-border payments market, long dominated by crypto firms like Tether and Circle, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Institutions including Bank of America, Standard Chartered, PayPal, Revolut, and Stripe are moving into the sector as regulatory frameworks take shape and transaction volumes rise.<\/p>\n

The market is heating up fast: <\/strong>Stablecoin transactions hit USD 710 bn last month, up from USD 521 bn a year prior. The number of unique stablecoin wallets also grew 50% to 35 mn, according to Visa data. Companies are also finding practical use cases \u2014 SpaceX, for example, uses stablecoins to move Starlink revenues from Argentina and Nigeria, while AI firm ScaleAI pays international contractors in digital tokens.<\/p>\n

More developments are underway:<\/strong> Stripe dropped USD 1.1 bn to acquire stablecoin startup Bridge, and PayPal is planning to expand its PYUSD rollout this year. Meanwhile, the EU has implemented compliance regulations for stablecoins, while the UK is gearing up for its own regulations, and US politicians are discussing stablecoin-related bills. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan acknowledged the shifting landscape, saying, \u201cIf they make that legal, we will go into that business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regulations are taking shape here in the region too: <\/strong>The Financial Services Regulatory Authority issued a regulatory framework<\/a> for the issuance of stablecoins in the ADGM last year, after which the Central Bank of the UAE granted final approval for the launch of AE Coin, making it the country\u2019s first AED-pegged stablecoin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

EMs could become leaders in this space:<\/strong> The real momentum for stablecoins is in emerging markets, where currency risk and weak banking infrastructure make them a preferred option for commodities, agriculture, and shipping. In Western markets, however, their role is \u201cnot as obvious,\u201d Index Ventures\u2019s Martin Mignot said.<\/p>\n

Stablecoins still carry risks: <\/strong>Analysts warn that stablecoins function as digital IOUs rather than true cash, meaning users are exposed to the financial health of the issuing company. \u201cEssentially what the brand of the stablecoin tells you is that this is who the issuer is,\u201d fintech consultant Simon Taylor said. \u201cTherefore, because the issuer is that organisation, your credit risk is X or Y. That\u2019s not something you do with the USD.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALSO FROM PLANET FINANCE- <\/p>\n

Our friends at <\/strong>EFG Hermes completed advisory on Alpha Data\u2019s USD 163 mn IPO on the ADX<\/strong>, the investment bank said in a stat<\/a>ement<\/a>(pdf)<\/a>. The IT services firm floated a 40% stake in what was the UAE\u2019s first IPO of the year, cashing-in on heightened investor appetite for tech players operating in AI. <\/p>\n

Also part of the transaction: <\/strong>EFG Hermes joined Emirates NBD as joint global coordinators on the transaction and \u2014 alongside Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank \u2014 they also acted as joint bookrunners. Ashurst and Latham & Watkins provided legal counsel and Deloitte & Touche served as auditors.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets broke away from the losing streak on Wall Street<\/strong>, with most markets up in trading as of dispatch. South Korea\u2019s Kospi and Japan\u2019s Topix were both up, while the Nikkei was flat in early trade. On Wall Street<\/strong>, futures are pointing to a stronger open after another volatile day in trading as the Trump administration\u2019s whispering trade policy continued to breed uncertainty among investors. <\/p>\n
