According to nic__carter on Twitter, the Financial Times published an analysis arguing that stablecoins are inferior to tokenized bank deposits, despite the latter never being successfully implemented at scale (source: Financial Times via nic__carter Twitter, May 27, 2025). For traders, this highlights ongoing regulatory and institutional skepticism toward stablecoin adoption, which could impact liquidity and stablecoin trading pairs. Current stablecoin infrastructure remains dominant, but such media narratives may influence future regulatory direction and investor sentiment toward stablecoin-backed DeFi protocols.
