Bank of America Enters the Stablecoin Race Amid Evolving Regulatory Landscape
Bank of America has officially joined the stablecoin race, signaling a shift in institutional sentiment toward broader cryptocurrency acceptance. CEO Brian Moynihan confirmed the lender's plans during a post-earnings call, though no timeline was disclosed. The move aligns with President Trump’s crypto-friendly legislation, positioning BOA alongside other institutional adopters.
Moynihan emphasized a cautious approach, citing low current customer demand and the need for legal clarity. "We’ve done a lot of work," he noted, comparing stablecoin adoption to early stages of payment platforms like Zelle and Venmo. Progress hinges on partnerships and regulatory developments, with key legislation pending.
