Barclays, the major UK-based multinational bank with approximately $2 trillion in total assets is actively exploring the development of a blockchain-based platform. This initiative focuses primarily on enhancing processes like payments, but it explicitly includes potential integration of stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Note: Like JPmorgan they are experimenting with private blockchains but IMO just like JPMorgan will realize the cost and adoption parameters and ROI of private networks will prove public infrastructure is superior. This is a notoriously anti blockchain company pivoting due to overwhelming demand for StableCoin economies and Agentic finance. They are fighting for their lives.
