Bank of America joins stablecoin efforts as it gears up for potential digital asset innovation.
During its Q2 earnings call, CEO Brian Moynihan confirmed the bank’s growing interest in stablecoins. While BofA hasn’t launched a product yet, it has already laid the foundation. The CEO said the bank is preparing to move “when the time is right.” His remarks follow similar developments from JPMorgan and Citigroup, which are exploring their own stablecoin initiatives.
Moynihan made it clear: the demand for stablecoins is rising, but still not fully matured. The bank is trying to gauge how big this market could become. “We’ve done a lot of work,” he said, suggesting the institution is ready to act quickly once customer interest becomes clearer. Like JPMorgan and Citi, BofA sees stablecoins as a necessary step in digital finance.

Big banks are warming up to stablecoins
What’s pushing this momentum is not just innovation—it’s regulation. Congress is actively reviewing the GENIUS Act, a bill designed to govern the stablecoin space. It passed the Senate in June but recently hit roadblocks in the House. Still, this movement signals that government and industry players are getting serious about blockchain-backed currencies.
Bank of America joins stablecoin discussions with a clear message: it won’t be left behind. While Moynihan emphasized caution, he also noted the bank would likely roll out a stablecoin in partnership with others. That shows traditional banks might not go solo but could unite to launch collaborative products.
The digital finance race is heating up. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank will “be involved” in deposit coins and stablecoins, despite doubts about their usefulness. Meanwhile, Citi CEO Jane Fraser confirmed her team is researching digital dollar possibilities. These admissions mark a shift from skepticism to strategic planning.

The industry’s pivot signals something more profound—crypto tools are blending into traditional banking. As more institutions accept this future, the odds of mainstream crypto adoption increase. Stablecoins, once seen as fringe tools, are becoming central to banks’ long-term strategies.
With increasing interest from Wall Street, 2025 could be the year stablecoins go fully mainstream. Bank of America’s move is a clear indication that stablecoin integration isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
