## Source summary

crypto.news reports that a group of 21 financial institutions, including Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, committed to form a company in the second half of 2026 and target a dollar-pegged stablecoin launch in the first half of 2027. Reuters independently corroborates the consortium statement and says the group expanded from 10 institutions first announced in October 2025; stablecoins linked to other G7 currencies may follow, with the euro identified as a priority.

## Why it matters

The plan would create a bank-backed shared token intended for wholesale, institutional and retail payments and digital-asset settlement, potentially spanning multiple currencies. It is still a conditional plan: the company has not yet been formed, the token is not live, closing conditions remain, and no issuer structure, reserve model, regulatory approvals, interoperability, fees, transaction volume or customer adoption is established.

## Key numbers

- **Financial institutions in the announced group:** 21
- **Target for company formation:** Second half of 2026 (subject to closing conditions)
- **Target for dollar stablecoin launch:** First half of 2027
