Deutsche Bank is exploring the possibility of issuing its own stablecoin or joining an industry-wide initiative.
The stablecoin market has grown to approximately $150 billion, with institutions looking for ways to utilize blockchain technology for faster and more cost-effective transactions.
The European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation and the US's proposed "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act" (GENIUS Act) are providing clarity on stablecoin regulations, encouraging banks to adopt stablecoin-based systems.
Deutsche Bank's asset management arm, DWS Group, has teamed up with Flow Traders and Galaxy Digital to launch a euro-denominated token, showcasing the industry's push towards digital settlement solutions.
Deutsche Bank's potential stablecoin could:
Providing a stable digital asset for institutions, corporates, and private users.
Utilizing blockchain technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Some notable developments in the stablecoin space include:
Developing a stablecoin product for its digital bank customers.
Processing over $2 billion in daily transactions on its Kinexys network.
