Higher U.S. Bank Deposit Rates Linked to Slower Stablecoin Growth

Higher U.S. bank deposit rates were linked to slower stablecoin growth in new research examining competition between bank deposits and stablecoins. The findings suggest that deposit pricing may influence the expansion of the stablecoin sector. They also point to possible effects on how banks structure their funding strategies as digital currencies pegged to traditional assets gain traction. The research focused on the relationship between stablecoins and traditional bank deposits. It did not establish that slower stablecoin growth directly changes total bank deposits or lending.
