The Basics of Stablecoin, Tokenized Deposits, and What it Means for Your Bank

The Community Bank Podcast

Helping community bankers grow themselves, their team, and their profits. This is the Community Bank Podcast. Well, hey everybody and welcome back to the Community Bank Podcast. This is the podcast by bankers for bankers. I'm Caleb Stevens with South State Bank's Capital Markets Division.

Over the past year, you've probably heard a lot of discussion around stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain. And while this technology isn't new, it's quickly becoming part of the broader banking conversation. And it's raising important questions about how money is going to get moved in the future. And so, to help us separate out hype from reality, I'm joined by Tara Edmonds, who is our SVP of Enterprise Payment Strategy here at SouthState.

And Tara breaks down today's payment rails as they currently sit. She talks about the difference between stablecoins and tokenized deposits. She also talks about a network that we're helping to build called Cary to bring a tokenized deposit solution to our customers and how that could also benefit you. As a correspondent banking client. And she shares what community bankers should actually be paying attention to when it comes to tokenized deposits. And speaking of tokenized deposits, Tara is going to be one of our keynote speakers at the Elevate Banking Forum.

It's going down September 21 through 23 in Isle of Palms, South Carolina at Wild Dunes Resort, which is just outside the Charleston area.
