巴克萊投資穩定幣結算推動數字金融




巴克萊銀行投資穩定幣結算公司Ubyx 推動代幣化基建發展

英國第二大銀行巴克萊(Barclays)宣布投資美國初創公司Ubyx,該公司專注開發代幣化貨幣的清算系統,包括代幣化銀行存款及受監管的穩定幣。這項投資雖未公開具體金額,但反映傳統銀行對於建立符合現有金融監管的區塊鏈支付基礎設施興趣日增。

Ubyx正打造一套通用結算框架,促進代幣化貨幣在發行者與金融機構之間流通,支援代幣化資金在錢包、銀行及支付平台間的兌換與贖回,確保資金以面值交換。巴克萊數字資產及策略投資主管Ryan Hayward表示,隨著代幣、區塊鏈及錢包生態多元化,專業技術將成為連接及基建的關鍵,助力受監管金融機構無縫互動。

這波趨勢亦見於瑞士的UBS、PostFinance及Sygnum銀行,三者曾在以太坊上進行跨銀行支付的概念驗證;此外,跨行訊息系統Swift亦在構建鏈上結算基礎設施。Ubyx去年初獲Galaxy Ventures領投的1000萬美元種子輪融資,VanEck、Peter Thiel的Founders Fund及Coinbase Ventures亦有參與。

編輯評論:

巴克萊此次投資Ubyx,彰顯傳統金融機構積極擁抱區塊鏈技術,尤其是穩定幣及代幣化資產的結算層面。過去幾年,區塊鏈支付多被視為新興市場或去中心化金融的專利,但隨著監管框架逐步成形,主流銀行開始尋求合規且高效的解決方案,推動代幣化資金在主流金融體系內流通。

Ubyx的通用結算框架若成功,將有助於打破不同發行者及金融機構間的技術壁壘,促進資金的即時清算與兌換,提升金融交易效率與透明度。這不僅是技術創新,更是金融基建的革命,將為跨境支付、資產管理及金融服務帶來深遠影響。

然而,這條路並非坦途。合規風險、監管政策不確定性及技術標準的統一都是挑戰。傳統銀行如何在保守與創新間取得平衡,如何與新興區塊鏈企業合作共贏,將是未來幾年觀察的重點。

整體而言,巴克萊的動作代表了金融業對代幣化資產的認可與期待,也預示著一場金融基礎設施的數碼轉型浪潮正逐步展開,值得香港及全球金融市場持續關注。

A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography.
