Standard Chartered, AirAsia parent to test ringgit stablecoin in Malaysia
Standard Chartered Malaysia and AirAsia parent Capital A plan to issue and test a ringgit-pegged stablecoin for wholesale applications.
Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia and Capital A, the parent company of AirAsia, plan to jointly explore a stablecoin pegged to Malaysia’s local currency, the ringgit.
In a statement Friday, the bank’s Malaysian arm and Capital A said they signed a letter of intent to explore a ringgit-pegged stablecoin under the country’s Digital Asset Innovation Hub, an initiative announced by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in June.
This is Capital A’s first interaction with the regulated digital asset space. The initiative will rely on Standard Chartered’s infrastructure and financial expertise, as well as Capital A’s ecosystem, to pilot the stablecoin in a wholesale fashion, rather than focusing on the retail market.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing.

BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional.
