Banco Santander is exploring the development of a fiat-backed stablecoin and expanding its crypto offerings to retail clients, marking a potential new chapter in the bank’s digital asset strategy.

The bank’s digital subsidiary, Openbank, has applied for licenses to offer retail crypto services under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.

The move aligns with Santander’s strategy to expand its digital asset offerings and reflects a broader trend among European banks to engage with regulated crypto services.

The resurgence of interest in private stablecoins is tied to broader goals: strengthening the dollar’s global reach, improving payment infrastructure, and opening financial access to underserved communities.

However, while proponents see stablecoins as tools for innovation and inclusion, some traditional banking stakeholders remain wary.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has warned that the increasing presence of dollar-denominated stablecoins could undermine the euro’s dominance in the EU’s financial system.

In contrast, the European Commission has downplayed these concerns, asserting that the existing MiCA regulations are robust enough to manage the risks associated with stablecoins.

Commission officials have emphasized that MiCA provides regulators with the authority to intervene if stablecoin issuers threaten financial stability. They argue that the ECB’s warnings may be overstated and that the current legal framework is adequate.

Santander’s deliberations signal growing acceptance of digital assets within traditional finance. Whether the bank ultimately launches a stablecoin or broadens crypto services to retail users, its actions could influence how other institutions navigate the emerging regulatory environment.
