Standard Chartered has launched institutional services for minting and redeeming USDC stablecoins through its Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) base, allowing large clients to convert dollars to USDC and vice versa. This expands its partnership with Circle, the USDC issuer, and builds on its existing role as a reserve bank for USDC cash holdings. The DIFC's regulatory environment makes it attractive for crypto-related financial services, and Standard Chartered expects the stablecoin market to grow significantly by 2028. This service lowers barriers for institutional investors like hedge funds and corporate treasuries to enter and exit crypto markets more easily.
