JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and other major banks plan to jointly launch a tokenized deposit network next year to compete with stablecoins.

According to The Wall Street Journal, several major U.S. banks plan to launch a tokenized deposit network next year to counter the growing threat posed by stablecoins and crypto firms—whose incursion into traditional banking services is accelerating under the Trump administration’s supportive policies. This network will bridge traditional payment rails with digital asset infrastructure and will be operated by The Clearing House, a real-time payments network company jointly owned by multiple major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo.
