Crypto scared the banks so badly that Visa is now helping them copy it.
Everything we break down lives inside the community, link in bio, one dollar a month.
Stablecoins proved people want dollars that move 24/7, instantly, all over the world. The banks did not want that money leaving their system and moving into tokens run by crypto companies. So on June 10, Visa announced a way for banks to turn your deposits into programmable, always on digital money that still lives inside the bank.
The difference matters. A stablecoin is an IOU from a company that is not a bank. A tokenized deposit is the money your bank already owes you, just upgraded to move like crypto. Visa built the rails for it with a platform called VTAP, BBVA is already testing it on Ethereum, Visa is settling billions seven days a week, and it already has more than 160 stablecoin linked card programs in the works.
And it is not just Visa. The Bank for International Settlements is testing the same thing with eight central banks, and the biggest US banks, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo, are building their own tokenized deposit network through The Clearing House.
What it means for your money: the dollars in your bank account are about to start moving on blockchain rails whether you follow crypto or not. The people who understand this early are the ones who position for it instead of getting surprised by it. Learn how tokenized money works now, while it is still being built.
Follow for the moves the news skips.
