🚀 From “Crypto? No Thanks!” to “We’re All In” – How Traditional Finance Did a 180° on Digital Assets

For years, traditional finance #TradFi treated crypto like a risky, volatile experiment—something to be ignored, dismissed, or even openly criticized. “Too speculative,” they said. “No real-world use,” they claimed. Many followed suit, writing off blockchain and stablecoins as a passing fad.

But look at the landscape now.

The same institutions that once turned up their noses are now racing to lead the charge. Two major banking consortia have emerged, signaling a seismic shift in how finance views digital assets:

1️⃣ The G7 Powerhouse: 10 Global Banks Exploring Stablecoins

These titans are jointly exploring blockchain-based stablecoins pegged to G7 currencies—a far cry from the days of skepticism.

2️⃣ The Euro Alliance: 9 European Banks Launching a Euro Stablecoin

Their goal? A euro-denominated stablecoin to challenge U.S. dominance in digital payments.

Why the Sudden Change?

• Regulatory clarity (e.g., MiCA)
• Fear of missing out as crypto adoption surges
• The rise of tokenized assets—banks now see real value in blockchain efficiency

To be clear: This is far from the original vision of decentralized finance. But it undeniably opens a door to digital assets—and that door won’t be closed again.

The message is clear: Crypto isn’t just for “the others” anymore. The same banks that once warned against crypto are now using it.

Question for the comments: Is this a genuine evolution—or just FOMO in disguise? And what does it mean for the future of money?
