Stablecoins do not bypass traditional banks; instead, scalable stablecoin payment systems depend heavily on regulated banking infrastructure, local clearing, and foreign exchange corridors, which take years to build. The main operational risk is the reliance on a single banking partner, as banks can exit crypto markets abruptly, stifling growth despite stablecoin technology working efficiently.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new baseline risk from banks withdrawing unexpectedly due to regulatory shifts or compliance issues. Now is the time to diversify banking partners and build multi-corridor FX and settlement infrastructure to avoid sudden market exits.
