The debate over stablecoin interest rates is intensifying as traditional finance faces mounting pressure from crypto innovators.

Supporters argue that many stablecoins are backed by assets held at global banks or short-term U.S. Treasuries, making them potentially safer than commercial bank deposits.

The discussion follows the recent passage of the Genius Act, a new U.S. regulatory framework for stablecoins, signaling their move toward mainstream adoption.

Meanwhile, crypto users abroad — including in Australia — continue to face banking barriers that slow adoption and limit market growth.
