Big U.S. banks are getting more serious about stablecoins. Bank of America says it’s working on one, and other banks like Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are also looking into it.
In Los Angeles, California A Bank of America is very famous bank of the state. CEO of Bank of America Brian Moynihan said, ”the bank is working on a stablecoin. He did not give a launch date. He said the bank had done a lot of work on the idea”. Moynihan added the bank will launch the stablecoin, when customers want it and when the time is right.
Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, speaks at a conference. Stablecoins are digital coins made to keep a steady value. They often equal one U.S. dollar so their price does not jump around. People use stablecoins to move money easily in crypto trading. Morgan Stanley’s finance chief, Sharon Yeshaya, said her bank is watching stablecoin developments closely. She said it is too early to know how they might use stablecoins for clients. Citigroup’s CEO, Jane Fraser, said her bank may issue its own stablecoin for digital payments. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said his bank will also be involved in stablecoins.
U.S. lawmakers are working on stablecoin rules. President Donald Trump has even called himself a “crypto president” and is pushing to support digital currencies. One new bill would set up clear rules for stablecoins and may soon become law. Banks say they are waiting for clear rules, which is why progress has been slow.
Conclusion:
U.S. banks are stepping into the world of stablecoins, but they’re doing it slowly and carefully. With new rules coming, it may not be long before you see digital dollars from your bank.
