Major US Banks Collaborate on Secret Stablecoin Initiative
JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are exploring a joint stablecoin project, signaling a strategic pivot toward cryptocurrency adoption. The discussions, conducted privately through Zelle and The Clearing House’s networks, remain fluid but underscore institutional recognition of digital assets’ role in payments.
Regulatory shifts appear to be a catalyst for the initiative. The banks are likely addressing volatility concerns by leveraging their combined liquidity and compliance infrastructure—a stark contrast to their historically cautious crypto stance.
