Reuters reports that a yet-to-named coalition of 21 major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citi, and Deutsche Bank, has announced plans to form a new company dedicated to launching a US dollar-pegged cryptocurrency in the first half of 2027. This stablecoin aims to integrate DLT technology into the mainstream financial system, with the group expanding significantly from its initial involvement of 10 banks in October 2025.

Following the initial USD launch, the venture plans to develop additional stablecoins pegged to other G7 currencies, prioritising a euro-pegged token. Through this digital asset infrastructure, the participating banks intend to establish a regulated framework for global money movement and trade settlement within the cryptocurrency landscape.
