?? Fidelity launching a Stablecoin? Big news - but also, big questions. If every major institution - from asset managers to global banks like JPMorgan or UBS - starts issuing their own digital dollar, where does that leave us? The appeal is obvious: stablecoins let you operate with programmable money, enable fast settlement, and create new revenue streams. For institutions, it’s a smart strategic play. Fidelity, a major asset management firm with approximately $6 trillion in assets under management, joining the fray reinforces how mainstream this tech has become. But here’s the dilemma: ?????? ?????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? Today, a #USDC isn’t the same as a #USDT or #DAI or #PYUSD. Each comes with different custody models, regulatory exposure, and risks. Add a Fidelity Dollar, a JPM Coin, and maybe an AppleCoin to the mix - will they all just work seamlessly together? ???? ???????? ??-???????????? ??é??à ????? Payments became cluttered with closed-loop wallets. Now stablecoins might be doing the same in digital finance. Will we soon need bridges or aggregators just to use “dollars” across chains, platforms, and brands? ???????? ?????????? ??????????? If you’re holding five different “dollars,” all with slightly different rules, how do you manage risk? Who’s backing what? And what happens when one issuer pauses redemptions? We may be walking into a fragmented stablecoin landscape that mirrors the chaos of early digital payments - unless interoperability, standards, and regulation catch up fast. ?? Curious to hear others’ take on this. Are we heading toward a “stablecoin overload”? Or will the market consolidate around a few trusted names? #Stablecoins #Fidelity #DigitalAssets #Fintech #Web3 #Payments #Blockchain
