Overview

  • JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank will develop both its proprietary deposit token and broader stablecoins to master the technology and counter fintech rivals.
  • Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser confirmed the bank is exploring a Citi-backed stablecoin alongside tokenized deposits and crypto custody services.
  • Bank of America has laid stablecoin groundwork and plans to deploy a solution when client demand and clearer regulations align.
  • Morgan Stanley executives said they are actively evaluating stablecoin use cases for their client base but remain in the early research phase.
  • Legislation such as the Senate-passed GENIUS Act is stalled in the House and analysts warn that a market exceeding $750 billion could force shifts in U.S. Treasury bill issuance.
