Summary
- Crypto executives and bankers increasingly expect younger, digitally native consumers to rely on wallets holding stablecoins and tokenized assets instead of traditional stand-alone bank accounts.
- Stablecoins and tokenized deposits are projected to grow sharply and divide roles, with stablecoins handling more retail payments and remittances while bank-issued tokens support larger wholesale and institutional flows.
- Banks, fintechs and crypto firms are rapidly converging on a super-app model, blurring the line between banking and crypto even as regulated infrastructure and questions over self-custody keep banks central to the system.
