Payment infrastructure embraces multiple digital assets, not a single winner

Payment infrastructure is evolving to support multiple forms of regulated digital assets simultaneously, rather than a single dominant digital money form. Major players like Mastercard and Stripe are integrating stablecoins such as USDC and SoFiUSD into their networks, enabling businesses to accept, hold, and settle value using regulated digital dollars. Regional banks are also collaborating on interoperable tokenized deposit networks, shifting the focus from the asset itself to the infrastructure's ability to orchestrate value across these diverse digital money forms.
