The funding is intended to cover five years of activity. The project, which includes 21 financial institutions, plans to establish a US-based company to issue a dollar-denominated stablecoin in the first half of 2027, with a eurozone stablecoin expected to follow. Other participants include Wells Fargo, Fidelity, UBS and Lloles Banking Group. The initiative aims to compete with established issuers Tether and Circle, whose stable account accounts for about 85% of the global market. link
