Up to $6,000,000,000,000 could flow from banks into stablecoins

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan believes that if interest-bearing stablecoins are allowed, up to $6t could leave the U.S. banking system — around 30–35% of total commercial bank deposits.

Why banks are concerned:
🟠 Yield-bearing stablecoins directly compete with bank deposits
🟠 Stablecoin reserves are invested in Treasuries, not lending
🟠 Fewer deposits = less credit or higher funding costs

Context:
The CLARITY bill bans passive yield on stablecoins but allows rewards for active use — staking, liquidity provision, collateral, etc.

JPMorgan expects a major capital inflow into crypto markets in 2026

JPMorgan believes that 2026 could mark a turning point for institutional capital entering the crypto industry.
