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.
