Stablecoin Growth Spurs Finery Markets’ New Trading Platform as GENIUS Act Advances

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.

Stablecoin Solutions Rise Amid Infrastructure Demand

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.
