Coinbase Vice Chair Ryan VanGrack says traditional finance has moved past debating whether to engage with crypto and is now focused on how to integrate it into existing systems. The remark follows a consortium of major banks moving to issue a joint stablecoin and Coinbase's own push to bring stablecoin services to over 1,000 community banks and credit unions.
Traditional finance is no longer asking whether to touch crypto — it is asking how, according to Coinbase Vice Chair Ryan VanGrack. That shift lines up with a separate move by a consortium of major banks, which are forming a group to issue a joint stablecoin. Coinbase itself has been expanding on a similar front, partnering to extend stablecoin services to more than 1,000 community banks and credit unions.
Together, the moves point to stablecoins and tokenized assets taking a growing role inside mainstream financial infrastructure. The trend could carry implications for Ethereum's adoption, and prediction markets appear to be pricing that in.
Markets currently reflect modest support for Ethereum reaching higher price thresholds by the end of 2026.
