Wu Says He Learned that Piero Cipollone, a European Central Bank executive board member, said that if the usage scale of stablecoins continues to grow, commercial banks may lose retail deposits. Banks are also currently losing some fee income and transaction data due to mobile payment platforms, which could weaken their ability to assess customers and to lend. Cipollone said that the digital euro will be distributed by banks and integrated with existing accounts, using non-interest-bearing design and a holding limit to prevent large-scale deposit transfers.

The ECB’s intent with this move is clear: it wants to push a central bank digital currency while also protecting the interests of commercial banks. The key is whether the actual user experience of the digital euro can be better than stablecoins—otherwise, users will still prefer USDC/USDT.

Banks really should be worried—stablecoins are aggressively grabbing deposits.
