Several of the country’s largest financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, are exploring a collaboration to launch a shared stablecoin. This initiative aims to solidify their presence in the rapidly evolving world of digital currency. This joint venture is still in its conceptual phase but would involve entities like Early Warning Services, which operates Zelle, and The Clearing House, involved in real-time payments systems used by many major banks. The anticipated stablecoin will be pegged to the US dollar, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions, particularly for cross-border payments where traditional methods often suffer from lengthy processing times and high costs.
