Stablecoins now cover 62% of transactions; new platform supports institutional trading, reduces depeg risks.
Firms such as Finery Markets and Bitpace are developing infrastructure to enable faster, lower-cost, and more secure stablecoin transactions.
Finery Markets has launched a trading infrastructure
designed for institutional users of stablecoins. The system aims to mitigate
risks associated with stablecoin depegs and improve capital efficiency. It
features a private room trading setup, allowing institutions controlled access
to secondary stablecoin liquidity.
The launch comes amid broader momentum in institutional
crypto infrastructure. In the US, the GENIUS Act is shaping regulatory clarity
around digital assets. Meanwhile, Ripple
has acquired prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, marking one of the
sector’s largest deals.
Hidden Road offers services across FX, digital assets,
and fixed income, and will use Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin as collateral while
migrating post-trade activity to XRPL.
Konstantin Shulga, CEO and co-founder of Finery Markets
Known for its non-custodial electronic communication network
(ECN) and SaaS crypto trading services, Finery Markets reports processing over
$200 billion in client orders. The new infrastructure is intended to shield
users from broader market contagion while maintaining access to a wide network
of liquidity providers.
At the iFX Expo Dubai 2025, Bitpace’s Chief Revenue Officer,
Meryem Habibi, discussed
challenges in traditional cross-border payments. In an interview with
Finance Magnates, she noted that such transactions are often slow and
expensive. Bitpace uses stablecoins to bypass intermediaries, enabling
near-instant, low-cost transfers. This model is especially beneficial in
trading, where speed is critical.
Stablecoin Liquidity Service Connects Institutions Fast
Finery Markets' launch aligns with a broader industry shift
toward stablecoin-based financial operations. Between 2023 and Q1 2025,
stablecoins’ share of total crypto transactions rose from 23% to 62%. However,
the growth of issuers and blockchain networks has also introduced new risks,
including fragmentation and instability.
Key features of the new platform include stablecoin
liquidity as a service, connecting over 150 clients and institutional liquidity
providers. New asset-stablecoin pairs can be onboarded within 24 hours via an
API.
The system supports real-time, automated cross-chain settlements and
flexible trade execution methods, including order book access,
request-for-quote streams, and negotiated trades—all through a single API.
"Full adoption takes more than just regulatory clarity
and on/off-ramp payment infrastructure. For stablecoins to become a backbone of
global financial plumbing, they must also thrive in liquid secondary markets –
something the current infrastructure only partially supports,” Konstantin
Shulga, CEO and co-founder of Finery Markets, commented.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
