Standard Chartered CEO Predicts a Blockchain Revolution in Global Finance

At Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025, Standard Chartered's CEO Bill Winters predicted that nearly all global transactions will soon settle on blockchain ledgers. The bank is leading this shift by launching a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin and expanding digital asset services, benefiting from Hong Kong's supportive crypto regulatory framework. This move, echoed by other industry leaders, could transform cross-border transactions through near-instantaneous settlements.
