As regulatory environments evolve and customer interest surges, leading banks are either rolling out their own [**stablecoins**](https://stablecoininsider.org/) or investigating digital currency projects. This guide details the banks that have introduced stablecoins, highlights upcoming efforts, and evaluates their impact on the future of finance. ### **Key Takeaways** - Live bank-issued tokens now include JPMorgan’s JPMD deposit token on Base, SoFi’s SoFiUSD, Société Générale’s EURCV and USDCV, Banking Circle’s EURI, ANZ’s A$DC and Custodia/Vantage’s Avit. - SoFiUSD, the first stablecoin issued by a US national bank, had about $325.8M in circulation on Sep 28, 2026 ([DefiLlama](https://defillama.com/stablecoin/sofiusd)). - Société Générale’s EURCV had about €189.5M in circulation, making it one of the largest bank-issued euro stablecoins ([DefiLlama](https://defillama.com/stablecoin/eur-coinvertible)). - Qivalis, a consortium of 37 European banks, is close to an EMI license from the Dutch central bank for a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin ([CoinDesk](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/09/24/european-stablecoin-issuer-qivalis-sees-transformation-of-global-trade-finance)). - Bank tokens remain small next to USDT ($183.7B) and USDC ($75.2B) ([DefiLlama](https://defillama.com/stablecoins)).

What is a bank-issued stablecoin, and how does it differ from other cryptocurrencies?** A bank-issued stablecoin is a digital currency created by a regulated bank, pegged 1:1 to a fiat currency like the USD or euro. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, bank stablecoins are fully backed by reserves at regulated institutions, offering stability and blockchain benefits like rapid settlements and 24/7 availability. ### **2\. Which major banks have launched stablecoins?** Live examples include JPMorgan (JPMD deposit token on Base), SoFi (SoFiUSD), Société Générale (EURCV and USDCV), Banking Circle (EURI), ANZ (A$DC) and Custodia/Vantage (Avit). NAB’s AUDN was discontinued. SoFiUSD is the first stablecoin issued by a US national bank ([SoFi](https://investors.sofi.com/news/news-details/2026/SoFiUSD-Becomes-the-First-Stablecoin-Issued-by-a-US-National-Bank-to-Launch-on-a-Banking-Platform/default.aspx)). ### **3\. Are bank-issued stablecoins regulated and safe?** Bank-issued stablecoins operate under banking supervision and digital asset rules such as MiCA in the EU and the GENIUS Act in the US. Note that a payment stablecoin is not itself an insured deposit; deposit tokens and tokenized deposits are closer to traditional bank deposits. ### **4\. What are the main benefits of bank stablecoins for businesses?** Bank stablecoins can provide faster settlement, 24/7 availability, blockchain-based transparency and programmable payments, which can reduce the cost and delay of cross-border transfers, supply chain finance and treasury operations. ### **5\. When will major US banks launch stablecoins?** SoFi already has. Larger banks such as Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have signaled interest, and launches are expected as GENIUS Act rules are finalized ahead of the January 18, 2027 effective date ([congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1582)).
