US Banking Giants JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Others Eye Joint Stablecoin Launch
Major US banks including JPMorgan and Bank of America are exploring a collaborative stablecoin initiative, signaling a strategic pivot to counter rising competition from crypto-native players. The discussions, still in preliminary stages, involve bank-owned entities like Early Warning Services and the Clearing House.
Bank of America’s CEO had previously hinted at such a MOVE in February, reflecting growing institutional anxiety about stablecoin adoption. The project’s viability hinges on regulatory clarity and market conditions, with banks seeking to protect traditional deposit systems from potential disruption by dollar-pegged digital assets.
