Zodia Markets Secures $18.25M Funding to Supercharge Global Growth and Stablecoin Adoption
Breaking: Crypto's institutional gateway just got a turbo boost.
Zodia Markets—the institutional crypto arm backed by Standard Chartered—has locked down $18.25 million in fresh funding. The target? Dominating cross-border stablecoin flows while traditional finance still debates SWIFT upgrades.
Why this matters
Banks are finally waking up to what crypto natives knew in 2017: dollar-pegged tokens move faster than paperwork. Zodia's war chest positions it to capture the exploding market for compliant, corporate-grade digital asset rails.
The cynical take
Another 'strategic investment' that'll likely fund consultant PowerPoints about blockchain synergy—until the next bull run makes everyone look genius again. But hey, at least they're not buying an NFT gallery this time.
