  • He warned that every bank will need to accept and process stablecoins or risk losing clients.
  • Reports citing DefiLlama place the stablecoin market near $280 billion, with roughly half issued on Ethereum.
  • Coverage links the recently signed GENIUS Act to expectations that U.S. banks could issue stablecoins.
