Bank of America joins stablecoin

Bank of America joins stablecoin movement as Wall Street eyes digital dollar future

Tariq Al-Mansouri

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.

Bank of America joins stablecoin talks amid rising client interest

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.

Why is Bank of America interested in stablecoins now?

Bank of America is preparing to enter the stablecoin space due to growing client interest and evolving regulations. CEO Brian Moynihan stated that the bank has already built internal infrastructure and is closely monitoring market demand. The GENIUS Act, which aims to regulate stablecoins, is also influencing BofA’s cautious yet strategic approach. Rather than rushing in, the bank is waiting for more clarity around both legislation and customer behavior. However, the groundwork suggests the move is inevitable once these pieces fall into place.

How does the GENIUS Act affect stablecoin development?

The GENIUS Act aims to create a legal framework for stablecoins, potentially making them safer and more trustworthy. It has already passed the Senate, but faced setbacks in the House. If passed, it would provide the regulatory clarity banks like BofA need to launch stablecoin products confidently. This legislation could standardize compliance, reduce fraud, and promote adoption across both retail and institutional users. Its progression is a key signal for how and when major banks will roll out stablecoin services.

Are other banks also developing stablecoins?

Yes. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup are also exploring stablecoin products. JPMorgan already has a deposit coin initiative, and CEO Jamie Dimon confirmed deeper involvement. Citi’s CEO Jane Fraser has likewise expressed interest in digital dollar initiatives. These moves show that large U.S. banks are no longer dismissing crypto assets. Instead, they’re strategizing on how to integrate them responsibly into their existing infrastructure to serve modern financial needs.

What could Bank of America’s stablecoin look like?

While there are no confirmed details, it’s likely BofA would launch a stablecoin in partnership with other firms. This cooperative approach helps reduce risk and align with regulatory guidelines. The coin could be pegged to the U.S. dollar and used for fast, low-cost transfers between accounts or across borders. With client demand still evolving, the focus will be on secure, practical use cases rather than speculative trading. BofA’s entry could legitimize stablecoins in the eyes of mainstream finance.
