Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, raised a fundamental issue in a recent interview that prevents large banks from integrating stablecoins such as USDC.

Attention, investors: Massive withdrawal of funds signals a shift in market sentiment.
Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has faced a notable outflow of liquidity. Analyzing on-chain metrics and exchange flows, I observe a steady trend of withdrawals from trading platforms. This movement is not chaotic; it reflects deep changes in the behavior of large holders.
A key indicator is the net outflow of funds from centralized exchanges. When coins leave exchange wallets, this is often interpreted as holders' desire to shift to long-term storage or move assets into DeFi protocols for yield generation...
