Could this banking giant’s next move reshape stablecoins—or trigger a new wave of financial disruption?

Key Highlights:

• Banco Santander is exploring a USD- and euro-pegged stablecoin to expand retail crypto services, joining a rising wave of big-bank blockchain ambitions.
  
  
• The bipartisan GENIUS Act could soon cement the U.S. dollar’s dominance in digital finance by enforcing 1:1 backing and strict AML compliance.
  
  

Yello, Paradisers! Banco Santander, one of the world’s largest banks, is stepping boldly into the crypto space, reportedly planning its own stablecoin to serve retail customers. 

This move doesn’t come out of nowhere; it’s riding the momentum of the GENIUS Act, a U.S. bill designed to regulate stablecoins with tough new safeguards.

If passed, the GENIUS Act could transform stablecoins from experimental tools into regulated financial heavyweights, reshaping cross-border payments, remittances, and financial inclusion.

But here’s the twist:

While some celebrate innovation, banking lobbyists and lawmakers are sounding the alarm, warning that interest-bearing stablecoins could hollow out deposits from traditional banks, threatening their lending power and destabilizing local economies.

Will Santander’s Stablecoin Move Spark a Global Domino Effect?

Industry insiders believe a Santander-issued stablecoin could pressure other global banks to follow, turning fiat-pegged digital assets into the new battleground for market share. Analysts also note that as U.S. stablecoin rules tighten, Europe and Asia will be watching closely, because when America leads on digital finance, the world often follows.
