A coalition of the largest U.S. financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, is reportedly accelerating the development of a shared tokenized deposit network.
Unlike stablecoins, which are often backed by reserve assets held by non-bank entities, tokenized deposits represent direct claims on a commercial bank.
On the other, it creates direct competition for public crypto-assets, as these banks are building "walled gardens" that offer the benefits of blockchain without the decentralization that defines the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
