Wall Street wants a piece of Tether's lunch.
Goldman Sachs, Citi, BBVA and a group of global banks just committed $270M to "Project Faro", a regulated dollar-backed stablecoin aiming for a 2027 launch.
Why it matters:
- It's built to plug into traditional banking rails, not DeFi first
- It goes straight at USDT and USDC
- Banks moving this early means they see stablecoin settlement as real volume
The real question is whether a bank coin can win over traders who already live on USDT. My guess: institutions yes, degens not so fast.
Would you hold a bank stablecoin over USDT?
