At Jones Walker, we look beyond today’s challenges and focus on the opportunities of the future. Since our founding in May 1937 by Joseph Merrick Jones, Sr., and Tulane Law School graduates William B. Dreux and A.J. Waechter, we have consistently asked ourselves a simple question: What can we do to help our clients succeed, today and tomorrow?
Banks are increasingly favoring tokenized deposits over stablecoins as a method for blockchain-based payments, as they maintain traditional regulatory frameworks while enabling digital commerce innovation.

In my opinion, this is the future of digital commerce in our economy.

It utilizes our existing finance infrastructure and, unlike stablecoin, still allows for leverage and money creation through the banking system, which is critical to our national and local economies. 

As I heard in the theatre recently, “this is the way.”

Banks tend to favor tokenized deposits over stablecoins because they are simply traditional bank deposits represented as digital tokens on the blockchain. That means tokenized deposits retain the same credit-risk profile, regulatory expectations and accounting treatments, making it easier for banks to offer blockchain-based payments within an existing regulatory framework. They also keep deposits within the banking system.
