The company said the shift will showcase how bank-issued stablecoins—a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by assets like bank deposits or Treasury bills—can coexist with existing payment infrastructure by “helping bridge traditional financial systems and blockchain-based networks.”
