Episode notes
This week, we break down why JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon publicly challenged Coinbase, why JPMorgan, Citi, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are building a tokenized deposit network, and why stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase are reportedly backing a new stablecoin platform that could reshape global payments.
We also discuss why Mastercard is expanding stablecoin settlement across multiple blockchains, and why Revolut wants to launch a U.S. bank with stablecoin services built in from day one.
