On the topic of banks and stablecoins, I've found myself wondering more and more about the role for tokenized deposits.
To start, there is no real definition today for "tokenized deposit," and different bank implementations will likely look different – transaction size limits, KYC requirements, walled gardens vs. partner gardens, etc. But banks from @jpmorgan to @HSBC to @UBS are all working on them.
Do consumers care whether transactions are decentralized? Whether they are build on an open vs. closed protocol? Is decentralization a core payments feature for the mass-market?
Early internet users expected peer-to-peer commerce to disrupt legacy merchants.
Nobody anticipated @Amazon Marketplace.
Will private chains and bank chains end up playing a similar role, dominating blockchain payments volume, while permissionless chains move to the fringe?
If you're a consumer trying to move money from Point A to Point B and JPMD <> PYUSD lets you do that, do you care?
