The product targets use cases such as onchain settlement, treasury operations, and liquidity management. It also gives Standard Chartered a path to support payment-related use cases in the future as stablecoin infrastructure becomes part of institutional workflows.
该产品针对链上结算、财资操作和流动性管理等应用场景。同时，随着稳定币基础设施成为机构工作流程的一部分，这也为渣打银行未来支持支付相关应用场景提供了途径。
Roberto Hoornweg, Chief Executive Officer for Corporate and Investment Banking at Standard Chartered, said, “Digital assets are becoming an increasingly important component of global financial infrastructure.” He added that clients want the same trust and governance standards that support traditional markets.
渣打银行企业与投资银行业务首席执行官Roberto Hoornweg表示：“数字资产正成为全球金融基础设施中日益重要的组成部分。”他补充说，客户希望获得支持传统市场的同样信任和治理标准。
Circle links USDC to regulated banking channels
Circle将USDC与受监管银行渠道连接
Circle Chief Commercial Officer Kash Razzaghi said financial institutions want trusted access to stablecoins and blockchain-based markets. He said integrating Circle’s infrastructure into Standard Chartered’s platform can help institutions use USDC across payments, settlement, and treasury operations.
Circle首席商务官Kash Razzaghi表示，金融机构希望获得对稳定币和基于区块链市场的可信访问。他说，将Circle的基础设施整合到渣打银行平台，可以帮助机构在支付、结算和财资操作中使用USDC。
The launch follows other bank-linked USDC moves. As previously reported, BNY unlocked USDC minting and redemption for clients, allowing them to convert U.S. dollars into USDC and redeem the stablecoin back into dollars from within its platform.
此次发布之前已有其他银行与USDC相关的举措。正如之前报道，纽约梅隆银行已为客户解锁USDC铸造和赎回功能，允许他们在其平台内将美元兑换成USDC，并将稳定币赎回成美元。
Circle has also been widening its institutional payment network. Crypto.news reported that Circle Payments Network launched for banks, giving banks and fintechs a managed USDC settlement option without requiring them to manage custody systems or blockchain operations directly.
Circle也在扩大其机构支付网络。据Crypto.news报道，Circle支付网络已面向银行推出，为银行和金融科技公司提供受管理的USDC结算选项，无需他们直接管理托管系统或区块链操作。
UAE role grows in stablecoin infrastructure
阿联酋在稳定币基础设施中的作用日益增强
Standard Chartered said the launch reinforces the UAE’s role as a hub for regulated digital asset activity. The service begins in DIFC, where many global banks and digital asset firms already serve institutional clients across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
渣打银行表示，此次发布强化了阿联酋作为受监管数字资产活动中心的角色。该服务从DIFC开始，许多全球银行和数字资产公司已在此为中东、非洲和亚洲的机构客户提供服务。
The UAE has also moved to build local stablecoin rules and products. Moreover, the UAE unveiled its first central bank-approved stablecoin, creating a locally regulated dollar-backed token that competes with USDC in certain institutional use cases.
阿联酋还着手制定本地稳定币规则和产品。此外，阿联酋推出了首个央行批准的稳定币，创建了一种受本地监管的美元支持代币，在特定机构应用场景中与USDC竞争。
Standard Chartered has also expanded digital asset payment rails in the region. Previously, Singapore Gulf Bank tapped Standard Chartered to improve cross-border settlement and multi-currency payment services across Middle East and Asia corridors.
渣打银行也在该地区扩展了数字资产支付通道。此前，新加坡海湾银行利用渣打银行的服务，改善中东和亚洲走廊的跨境结算和多币种支付服务。
Stablecoin competition keeps rising

The bank-led USDC service comes as competition around stablecoin access grows. As crypto.news reported, Circle shares fell 17.5% after Russell Growth removals and the launch of Open USD, a rival stablecoin backed by a large group of partners.
银行主导的USDC服务推出之际，围绕稳定币访问的竞争日益激烈。据Crypto.news报道，在罗素增长指数剔除以及获得大量合作伙伴支持的竞争对手稳定币Open USD推出后，Circle股价下跌了17.5%。
