Crypto Biz: Wall Street giants bet on stablecoins
JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America are advancing their roles in stablecoin development, which has grown from a tool mainly for crypto traders to a vital part of the financial ecosystem. These legacy institutions are gearing up for a future where stablecoins facilitate trillions in transactions. JPMorgan has expressed plans to integrate stablecoins for modernizing payment infrastructures, indicating that such currencies could manage massive volumes of client assets daily. In tandem, crypto exchange OKX has joined the USDG stablecoin network, providing its users access to a regulation-first stablecoin that has seen rapid growth in circulating supply. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has reached new highs but remains significantly down when measured against Bitcoin, showing the latter's long-term dominance since the index has dropped 99.98% of its value when priced in Bitcoin since 2012. Additionally, California is collaborating with crypto firms to enhance government efficiency, demonstrating the growing intersection between blockchain technology and public services.
