Major US banks, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, are reportedly developing a joint stablecoin to compete with crypto-native players like Tether. This signals a strategic shift as traditional finance embraces stablecoins as a necessity in global markets. The move could reshape the $245.9B stablecoin sector dominated by USDT and USDC.

  • Major US banks are forming a consortium to launch a stablecoin, directly competing with Tether and Circle.
  • Tether’s CEO responded confidently, while BitMEX’s co-founder predicted challenges for Circle.
  • The initiative highlights stablecoins' growing role in global finance, especially for liquidity and emerging market access.
