It seems the grand old banks of America, those bastions of financial stability and tradition, have finally decided to dip their toes into the frothy waters of stablecoins. JPMorgan Chase, the colossus with a staggering $3.6 trillion in assets, has announced its intention to “be involved in […] stablecoins,” according to CEO Jamie Dimon, who made the revelation during an earnings call that was as thrilling as a game of solitaire. 🎉

In a twist that could only be described as “predictable,” The Wall Street Journal reported in May 2025 that a group of big banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, were considering issuing a joint stablecoin. Because, you know, why have one stablecoin when you can have a consortium of them? 🤔
Another factor driving the banks’ newfound interest in stablecoins is the improving regulatory environment in the United States. The GENIUS Act, which would regulate stablecoins and their issuers, has passed the Senate and is currently under consideration in the House of Representatives. US President Donald Trump, in a rare moment of clarity, called for the GENIUS Act to be passed during Congress’s “Crypto Week.” Dollar-pegged stablecoins, it seems, are the new frontier in the global dominance of the US dollar. 🇺🇸💰
According to DefiLlama, the current stablecoin market capitalization is $258 billion, a 58% increase from July 16, 2024, when it was valued at $163.3 billion. Some observers consider stablecoins to be crypto’s first mainstream use case, as they have been increasingly adopted by businesses and individuals around the world for their ease, speed, and simplicity. It’s a far cry from the days when crypto was the domain of tech-savvy rebels and libertarian dreamers. 🤑
JPMorgan deposit coin, a proof-of-concept token issued on a public blockchain, is being touted by the bank as an alternative to stablecoins for cash payments and settlements. It is currently available to institutional clients, which is a fancy way of saying that the average Joe won’t be getting his hands on it anytime soon. 🙄
