$6 Trillion at Risk: U.S. Bank CEO Warns Stablecoins Could Drain Deposits
The CEO of U.S. Bank has warned that the rapid growth of stablecoins could trigger a massive shift of up to $6 trillion from traditional bank deposits, potentially reshaping the U.S. financial system. As dollar-pegged digital tokens gain popularity for payments and transfers, consumers and businesses may increasingly move money out of banks and into blockchain-based wallets.
Stablecoins offer fast settlement and price stability, making them an attractive alternative to bank accounts. However, bank leaders caution that large-scale deposit outflows could reduce banks’ ability to lend, affecting mortgages, small businesses, and consumer credit.
Regulatory concerns also loom large. Banks are tightly regulated, while stablecoin oversight remains uneven, raising fears of systemic risk if adoption accelerates without strong safeguards. Still, some financial institutions see opportunity, exploring tokenized deposits and blockchain partnerships.
The warning highlights a pivotal moment for banking, as digital money challenges traditional finance and forces banks to adapt to a rapidly evolving landscape.
