Barclays shares in focus as bank makes first stablecoin bet with Ubyx stake

Barclays shares in focus as bank makes first stablecoin bet with Ubyx stake

Barclays shares were set for focus ahead of the London open on Wednesday after the bank said it had bought a stake in U.S. stablecoin-settlement firm Ubyx, its first investment in a stablecoin-related company. Barclays declined to disclose the size of the investment; Ubyx runs a clearing system for stablecoins, digital tokens designed to track mainstream currencies, and Barclays was one of 10 banks including Goldman Sachs and UBS that said in October it was exploring a stablecoin pegged to G7 currencies. The stock ended Tuesday up 0.36% at 488.40 pence, close to a 492.95 pence 52-week high, and is up about 79% over the past year, Hargreaves Lansdown data showed. Reuters+1
