Circle's head honcho Jeremy Allaire just dropped some bold predictions about the future where traditional banks roll out stablecoins to everyday users. His focus? The Arc blockchain infrastructure they're building.

Allaire's betting big on financial institutions. "Banks represent one of our most massive growth vectors," he stated, hinting at untapped potential once mainstream banking customers get direct access to digital dollar rails.

The timing makes sense. With USDC already embedded in crypto ecosystems and competing against USDT, RLUSD, and emerging players like USAT, the race is on to capture traditional finance's next frontier. Arc could be the bridge that finally makes stablecoins feel less like crypto and more like... well, actual money that banks trust enough to offer.

Whether legacy institutions move fast enough to capitalize remains the billion-dollar question.
