Source summary
Consequently, many smaller banks choose to focus their limited resources on safer, government-backed instant payment rails, such as the Federal Reserve's FedNow service or the Clearing House's RTP network, viewing stablecoins as an unnecessary compliance risk. Not only that, but part of the design for FedNow was to ensure it was accessible to all financial institutions in the U.S., regardless of scale or size.
Why it matters
This signal matters because stablecoin distribution, regulation and settlement are increasingly shaping cross-border treasury, merchant acceptance and programmable payment infrastructure.
