U.S. Banks explore joint stablecoin initiative amid pending regulation

Several major U.S. banks, including #JPMorganChase , #BankofAmerica , #Citigroup , and #WellsFargo , are in early discussions to develop a joint #stablecoin project, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The move would be a direct challenge to the current dominance of crypto-native issuers #Circle and #Tether in the $245 billion #stablecoin market. The banks are reportedly exploring the effort through their affiliated payment companies, such as Early Warning Services and the Clearing House.
