The big banks aren't waiting for regulatory clarity—they're building their own bridge between legacy payment infrastructure and blockchain rails. This move directly challenges fintech rails operators and crypto-native platforms by offering institutional investors tokenized deposits without leaving the traditional banking system.

If successful, banks retain deposit relationships and settlement authority even as transaction flows tokenize, shifting control of the value transfer layer in American commerce.
