📰 This Week in Stablecoins: TradFi Doesn’t Want DeFi. It Wants Blockchain
🗓️ Jul 17 2026 15:21 UTC - PYMNTS
TradFi is not broadly embracing decentralized finance, but is taking components of blockchain and placing them inside regulated institutions.
➤ Traditional finance (TradFi) is selectively adopting blockchain technology, focusing on programmability and shared ledgers within regulated institutions, rather than fully embracing decentralized finance (DeFi).
➤ Stablecoins are evolving from digital currencies to crucial settlement infrastructure, serving as the cash leg for tokenized securities, cross-border payments, and treasury transactions.
➤ The primary adoption opportunity lies in enterprise integration, where providers embedding blockchain into existing workflows will drive widespread use.
