Morning Minute: Citi and Coinbase Just Made Stablecoins Invisible

Citi and Coinbase are advancing stablecoin infrastructure that could embed dollar-denominated digital payments into mainstream banking and crypto platforms, making the underlying stablecoins less visible to users. The development suggests stablecoins may increasingly function as back-end settlement rails rather than standalone products. For Bitcoin, this could expand overall crypto adoption and liquidity, while also intensifying competition for attention and payments use cases.
