Banks Face Rising Risk from Regulatory Uncertainty Over Stablecoins

Regulatory uncertainty over stablecoins has left traditional banks facing a rising risk of unstable operations, warns an executive vice president at Mega Matrix.

The main constraint for banks isn't technology but regulatory ambiguity. Without clear rules on what stablecoins are – whether they're deposits, securities or something else entirely – banks can't scale their investments in digital asset infrastructure.

Major financial institutions have already made significant moves into digital assets, including JPMorgan's Onyx blockchain payments network and BNY Mellon's digital asset custody service. However, risk and compliance teams are holding back full deployment due to the lack of clarity on regulations.
