Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino criticised the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for promoting tokenized bank deposits as superior to stablecoins, arguing stablecoins are safer due to full backing by U.S. treasuries while tokenized deposits only hold fractional reserves. The debate underscores banking sector fears that regulatory clarity could trigger a large deposit shift towards stablecoins.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a regulatory tug-of-war as tokenized deposits push meets stablecoins defending their full backing. That clash signals shifting market trust likely to reshape deposit flows and regulatory approaches this quarter.
