Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is confronting Wall Street leaders like Jamie Dimon over the role of crypto in finance. Banks are wary of crypto exchanges offering payouts on stablecoins, which they see as a threat to their control over consumer deposits. The debate centers on the future of digital assets in traditional banking.

Shopify is set to introduce stablecoin payments for its merchants, starting with a select group by late June, and expanding further in the U.S. and Europe. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and Stripe, highlights the growing interest in stablecoins among major tech firms. The move is seen as a significant step in the evolving landscape of crypto payments.
