新たな競合と規制の反発が発行体の支配力を脅かす Open USDがVisa、Mastercard、Stripeを含む200以上のパートナーとともに立ち上がり、手数料無料のミントと準備金収益の共有を提供している。MastercardはBVNK取引を完了し、EU中央銀行はステーブルコインの利回りを禁止するよう働きかけた。これらは競争を激化させ、発行体の経済性を圧迫する可能性がある。

SoFi TechnologiesとMastercardは、SoFi Bank, N.A.のデビット・クレジットカードプログラム全体でステーブルコイン決済が稼働を開始し、250億ドル相当のカードポートフォリオ全体をSoFiUSDへ移行したと発表した。SoFiUSDは、全国認可銀行がMastercardのグローバルネットワーク上で発行する初のステーブルコインであり、銀行発行ステーブルコインを従来の決済レールとブロックチェーン基盤の間の運用上の橋渡しとして位置づけるものだ。この動きは、企業が法定通貨と暗号資産を管理し、SoFiUSDを発行・償却し、単一の銀行インターフェースでリアルタイム決済にアクセスできるようにする、2026年4月のSoFiのビッグビジネスバンキング開始につながる。SoFiの見通しでは、2029年までに77億ドルの収益と16億ドルの利益を目指しており、年間21.6%の収益成長と、現在の6億3630万ドルから約10億ドルの利益増加が必要となる。一方、最も悲観的なアナリストは、SoFiが2029年までに到達するのは約60億ドルの収益と約10億ドルの利益にとどまると見ている。

OUSDステーブルコインが、Visa、Mastercard、Stripeの支援を受けて正式に始動したと、スコット・メルカー氏が「The Daily Wolf with Scott Melker」で伝えた。OUSD、すなわちOpen USDは、フィンテック企業と決済企業のコンソーシアムが独自のステーブルコインを立ち上げるもので、高金利が事実上の無料マネーを生み出す巨大市場で競争することを目指している。運営はStripeが担い、同社はユニコーン案件でBridgeを買収し、そのBridgeの最高経営責任者がブロックチェーンも統括している。このステーブルコインはEthereum、Solana、Base、Tempoを含む複数のブロックチェーンで始動し、流動性の大半はStripe自身のTempoブロックチェーンに集まると見込まれている。準備金はBlackRock、BNY、Lead Bankに保管される。5つの創設メンバー、すなわちCoinbase、Mastercard、Shopify、Stripe、Visaが株式を分割し、初期流動性として10億ドルを投資した。利用状況に応じて、彼らはステーブルコインからより多くの、あるいはより少ない株式や収益を得ることになり、収益はそれを支え利用する企業に帰属し、背後にある民間企業には帰属しない。この始動は、発表時にBlackRockなど140のロゴが登場したことで大きな議論を呼び、一部の企業はそれを聞いたことがなく、通達も受け取っていないと述べた。

シティグループは、コインベースとの提携拡大により、機関投資家の顧客が顧客からステーブルコインでの支払いを受け取れるようにした。この取引は2025年10月のMoney 20/20で最初に構想が示された。コインベースがブロックチェーンの基盤を提供し、受け取ったデジタル通貨を自動的に米ドルに交換する一方、シティは記録銀行として、すでに23市場で展開し年間数千億ドル規模の取引を処理する同行の加盟店決済プラットフォームSpring by Citiを通じて資金を決済する。この取り決めで最も示唆に富むのは、コインベースに保有されるステーブルコインが得られる年3.75%の利息類似の報酬だ。この利回りが存在するのは、GENIUS法の第4条(a)(11)がステーブルコイン発行体によるトークン保有者への直接の利息支払いを禁じているためで、資金はサークルからコインベース、そして顧客へと流れ、利息ではなく報酬と表示される。サークルの2025年次報告書によると、総収入と準備金収入は27億5000万ドルで、そのうち26億4000万ドル、すなわち96%が準備金収入によるもので、16億6000万ドルが流通・取引コストに充てられ、コインベースが最大の受け取り手となっている。シティはどちらかの側についているわけではない。同行は同時に、2026年9月に発表された21行の銀行連合の創設メンバーであり、ゴールドマン・サックス、バンク・オブ・アメリカ、ウェルズ・ファーゴ、ドイツ銀行、UBSなどとともに、BCGとブランズウィック・グループの助言を受け、2027年上半期までに公開ブロックチェーン上で独自の米ドル建てステーブルコインを立ち上げる計画だ。シティのステーブルコイン市場予測は、2030年までに基本シナリオで1兆9000億ドル、強気シナリオで4兆ドルに達しており、同行が両方の取り組みを同時に進めるだけの十分な上振れ余地を見ていることを示唆している。

Circle Internet Groupは9月25日、最高財務責任者(CFO)のジェレミー・フォックス=ジーン氏が5年以上務めた同職を退任すると開示した。同日の別の提出書類では、共同創業者で長年在任した取締役のP・ショーン・ネヴィル氏が即時有効で取締役会を辞任し、取締役の人数が8人から7人に減ったことが明らかになった。株価は4.30%下落して89.00ドルで取引を終え、時間外でもさらに下げた。Circleは、どちらの退任も会社の事業、方針、会計慣行をめぐる意見の相違によるものではないと述べ、フォックス=ジーン氏は後任が見つかるまで2026年12月まで同職にとどまり、12か月間にわたる現金約105万ドルの退職金に加え、すでに保有する株式の権利確定が加速されるとした。ネヴィル氏の辞任は、進行中の取締役会刷新プロセスの一環と説明された。Circleの収益はほぼすべて、USDCを裏付ける準備資産から得られる利息収入であり、第2四半期末時点で流通額は730億ドル超に達したため、同社の損益計算書は連邦準備制度の政策に左右される一方、会社は買収案件の消化を進めている。
