Lloyds Banking Group just went live with a 7-day stablecoin settlement pilot—one of the first major banks to actually test this infrastructure in real-time.
Wild to think where we were 5 years ago vs now. Stablecoins went from "fake internet money" to institutional settlement rails faster than most expected.
This isn't some proof-of-concept deck. It's actual money moving through actual banking pipes using stablecoins. The rails are being built while tradfi watches from the sidelines or scrambles to catch up.
Settlement speed, cost efficiency, and 24/7 availability—all the things banks couldn't offer before are now table stakes with stablecoin infra. Lloyds sees it. More will follow.
