Banks Fear Stablecoin “Bank Run”, Regulators See No Impact

boss

Banks warn stablecoins — especially those paying yield — could pull deposits out of the banking system, but policy and finance experts say there’s little evidence of that so far. Major US bank Standard Chartered recently estimated in a research note that stablecoin growth could drain bank deposits. The report estimates “that US bank deposits will decrease by one-third of stablecoin market cap,” which currently stands at $308.15 billion according to DeFiLlama data. The debate has intensified as US lawmakers weigh whether to prohibit interest on stablecoin holdings under a…

boss

A $2.24 billion drop in total stablecoin market capitalization over the last 10 days could signal capital is leaving the crypto ecosystem and may delay market recovery, according to a crypto analytics platform.  In a post to X on Monday, Santiment said much of that capital has rotated into traditional safe havens like gold and silver, pushing them to new highs, while Bitcoin (BTC), the broader crypto market and stablecoins have retraced.

Stablecoin Yield Bans Under CLARITY Act Could Push Capital Offshore

boss

The proposed restrictions on stablecoin yields under the US CLARITY Act risk driving capital out of regulated markets and into offshore, opaque financial structures. Colin Butler, head of markets at Mega Matrix, said banning compliant stablecoins from offering yield would not protect the US financial system, but instead sideline regulated institutions while accelerating capital migration beyond US oversight. “There’s always going to be demand for yield,” Butler told Cointelegraph, adding that if compliant stablecoins can’t offer it, capital will simply move “offshore or into synthetic structures that sit outside the…

US Bank Lobby Says Fighting Stablecoin Yields A Top Priority

boss

The American Bankers Association (ABA) has made cracking down on stablecoin yield a top priority for 2026, amid its ongoing debate with US lawmakers that it will hurt the banking industry’s competitiveness. The ABA said on Tuesday that one of several priorities it has this year is to “stop payment stablecoins from becoming deposit substitutes that slash community bank lending by prohibiting paying interest, yield or rewards regardless of the platform.” Stablecoin oversight topped a list of five priorities, which also included fighting financial fraud, stopping arbitrary interest rate caps,…

Stablecoin Supply Plateaus as Regulation and Yields Rise

boss

After a period of rapid expansion, the global stablecoin market has largely stalled, signaling a consolidation phase as new regulation, liquidity constraints and higher real-world yields weigh on new issuance, according to Jimmy Xue, co-founder of quantitative yield protocol Axis. In a note shared with Cointelegraph, Xue said that while stablecoin regulation has advanced, tighter frameworks in the United States and Europe have forced institutional issuers to hold higher-quality reserves and absorb rising compliance costs, slowing the pace of net issuance.
