Source summary
American Banker reports that US prudential regulators and the SEC are moving toward rules that could let banks offer tokenized deposits at scale as early as 2027. The article notes existing JPMorganChase and Citi pilots, while highlighting unresolved questions around irreversibility, AML controls and legal safeguards.
