According to Odaily Planet Daily, Megan Greene, a member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), stated on Sunday that the hype around stablecoins may soon dissipate, to be replaced by tokenized deposits—digital versions of traditional bank deposits.Stablecoins, a type of crypto asset designed to maintain a stable value, have grown in popularity in recent years. Although issuance has leveled off in recent months, some still anticipate further growth for stablecoins."I think it's very likely that tokenized deposits will replace stablecoins, and in five years, we might wonder why we were even talking about stablecoins," Greene said at a conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. She believes that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and digital deposits all have their respective markets, but once commercial banks realize they risk losing traditional deposits if they don't act, digital deposits could ultimately emerge as the winner.
