Wall Street’s Old Guard Plots Stablecoin Coup—Because Nothing Says ’Innovation’ Like a Banker Consortium

Why now? Because stablecoins threaten to bypass legacy rails—and banks hate being bypassed. Expect ’regulation-first’ rhetoric masking a land grab.
Bonus cynicism: Watch them pitch this as ’consumer protection’ while fighting real DeFi tooth-and-nail.
