#MyTradingStyle Every bank will issue a stablecoin after GENIUS Act passage: Alchemy CTO

The U.S. Senate has passed the Genius Act, bringing long-awaited regulatory clarity to stablecoins. With this development, major financial institutions are expected to roll out their own stablecoins. Guillaume Poncin, CTO of Alchemy, gave an interview to .. Alchemy is working with Visa, Coinbase, Stripe, and Robinhood on stablecoin issuance.

Until now, major banks have held back, waiting for clear regulations, a need the new bill addresses. Poncin believes that, in the future, every bank will issue its own stablecoin and operate its own blockchain.

GP: For banks, issuing their own stablecoins allows them to capture the float on reserves, with the ability to bring in hundreds of millions in annual revenue from treasury yields at current rates. They also maintain control over their customer relationships and transaction flows rather than ceding that to third-party issuers.
