Barclays Takes Stake in Digital Money Clearing Platform Ubyx

Barclays has made a strategic investment in Ubyx Inc., a U.S.-based clearing system for digital money, the bank announced Wednesday.

The New York and London-based platform provides clearing infrastructure for tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins, aiming to connect multiple issuers with receiving institutions in a unified settlement environment.

"Interoperability is essential to unlock the full potential of digital assets," said Ryan Hayward, head of digital assets and strategic investments at Barclays, in a statement. He added that specialized technology will be critical as the ecosystem of tokens, blockchains and wallets continues to develop.

The investment comes amid increasing institutional interest in blockchain-based digital money forms. Multiple jurisdictions are advancing regulatory frameworks for these assets, while adoption is expanding beyond cryptocurrency use cases, according to the announcement.

Ubyx CEO Tony McLaughlin said bank participation is essential for providing par value redemption through regulated channels. "We are entering a world in which every regulated firm offers digital wallets in addition to traditional bank accounts," McLaughlin stated.

Both companies emphasized their commitment to developing tokenized money within existing regulatory frameworks.

The financial terms of Barclays' investment were not disclosed.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
