Stablecoins as a Liquidity Tool: Lessons from Early Movers London

Liquidity is the silent force behind every financial transaction. Yet, in global finance, liquidity management remains constrained by legacy rails, time-zone cut-offs, and fragmented correspondent networks. For decades, treasury teams have accepted delayed settlements and high costs as the price of doing business. Stablecoins, however, are beginning to challenge this status quo.

By combining the stability of fiat with the programmability of digital sandbox assets, stablecoins are emerging as a strategic liquidity tool. Early adopters - ranging from payment providers to e-commerce giants - are already reporting significant efficiency gains. For enterprises, the question is no longer whether stablecoins will reshape liquidity management, but how quickly they can test and scale these capabilities.

Banks are paying attention. Across Europe, North America, and Asia, pilot programmes are underway to test cross-border settlements, intraday repo, and real-time treasury transfers using stablecoin rails. The results are promising. Settlement times are shrinking from days to minutes, intraday liquidity buffers are falling by as much as 30 – 40%, and operational costs are dropping significantly. In this context, stablecoins are no longer a “crypto” conversation - they are a blueprint for rethinking how capital moves through the global economy.

Adoption by large US banks is accelerating. U.S. Bank has become the first American bank to use***********-based WaveBL for trade transactions, demonstrating the power of tokenised rails in complex supply chain finance. Citi and JPMorgan are piloting interbank stablecoin settlement solutions aimed at reducing liquidity friction, while Bank of America is preparing to launch its own stablecoin. Beyond individual efforts, 22 major US banks - including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Citi, and BNY Mellon - are collaborating on a shared USD stablecoin via The Clearing House. These moves signal that stablecoins are no longer speculative - they are evolving into core liquidity infrastructure.

Insight: According to Reuters, Bank of America expects to launch a proprietary stablecoin within 2025, while Morgan Stanley and others are evaluating similar moves. This shift signals a new competitive race to build 24/7 liquidity networks, one that will likely mirror the evolution of real-time payment systems like FedNow and RTP.
