Retailer Stablecoins Are A Real Opportunity For Stable Retailers

People shop at a Walmart in Rosemead, California, on April 11, 2025 (Photo by FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP ... More via Getty Images). The Wall Street Journal reports that some big players, including Walmart and Amazon, are exploring the idea of issuing their own retailer stablecoins in order to bypass the 'traditional' payment systems and exploit their 'troves of data'. This makes them a threat to banks, including regional and community lenders. Whether they succeed in stablecoins or not, the fact remains that retailers may have a much bigger role in the future of fintech. Retailer Stablecoins Are Within Reach Walmart is, of course, a focus for those of us looking at the retail/fintech possibilities and they have been looking in this direction for some time. Back in 2022, CTO Suresh Kumar said that crypto will become "an important payment tool" across the Metaverse and social media, as these will be the spaces where consumers discover new products. (Walmart are active in many directions here: their Mastercard credit card is expected to launch this fall, with the experience embedded inside the OnePay app.) The noted venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz single out Walmart in their argument for 'how stablecoins will eat payments' pointing out that Walmart made $648 billion in annual revenue and $15.5 billion in profit, but paid $10 billion in fees to the payment networks (they also point out that for another supermarket chain, Krogers, net income and payment fees are approximately equal). Thus, they say, greater stablecoin adoption would significantly improve profitability in many businesses, including small businesses like coffee shops or restaurants. Stable or unstable? I am not commenting on their math, other than to say that payment fees cover a lot more than the cost of the payment and when considering the costs and benefits, it is also important to look at what additional services might be cross sold from payments. I might also comment that stablecoins are not the only way to drive down these costs and as Richard Crone points out that adding adding a pay-by-bank capability inside a retailer's wallet, such as OnePay, with the attendant anti-fraud benefits such as strong user authentication, could result in significant savings. Real-time payments have been around since 2017 thanks to The Clearing House starting the RTP network that year, but only some banks have adopted the new tool, and those that have signed up have had tepid uptake in the marketplace. The launch in 2023 of the Federal Reserve's competing instant system, FedNow, has boosted adoption by banks, but real world use remains limited: Walmart might change that. Sarah Arnio, Walmart's director of digital payments recently said that 'We're really bullish on instant payments and hoping to move forward with them within the next year'. Now, Walmart already gives customers the option to sign up on its website to be able to pay directly from a bank account, moving those payments via low-cost automated clearing house transfers (ACH) transfers but Arnio sees this as a 'stepping stone' to faster instant payments because "We at Walmart really have a drive internally to speed up everything'.. Looking beyond the current payments landscape, Walmart are also exploring AI-driven shopping assistants as an entirely new type of customer, distinct from traditional consumers, and they will need ways to pay too, as well as exploring a future where consumers may opt for third-party shopping agents built by technology firms, ensuring its systems are adaptable to external AI-driven purchasing solutions. (Walmart know, as I am fond on repeating, that AI agents won't just facilitate transactions in existing processes, they will reshape the entire retail experience.) They are also taking their first steps into the metaverse, the coming augmented and virtual reality space where customers will go to work, rest and play. They have their Walmart Realm to experiment with more 'engaging' buying options. Justin Breton, Walmart's director of brand experiences says that they are following three trends here: customers enjoy brands more when they have unique virtual experiences; customers want to be entertained while shopping; and customers are inspired by virtual games where they can purchase items they discover'. I've used Walmart as the example here but of course all big retailers must be looking at these new technologies with some similar ideas. Partly because of reduced costs and increased speed but also because of the potential for new business models. One advocate is Shopify, which recently announced it has already started allowing customers to pay with popular stablecoin USDC allow their small business base to tap into global markets. As they said in rheir press release, 'Small businesses should be able to sell to a customer on the other side of the world as easily as their next-door neighbor'. All in all, you can see why retailers might be motivated to move now, although it is fair to observe, as Brady Dale does, it would be on them to find a way to convince customers to hold enough stablecoins to fund their purchases The Bank Response To Retailer Stablecoins So what does the mean for banks? Tom Brown's summary seems pretty accurate to me. That so, stablecoins are having a moment [and] all of this attention has left large banks with a very bad case of FOMO. The fear may be justified. Ron Shevlin, a well-respected industry analysts, says that stablecoins could divert significant transaction volume—and core deposits—away from banks as retailers, fintechs, and Big Techs issue branded stablecoins that lead consumers to move cash into stablecoins for convenience, rewards, or programmability. It is hard to disagree with him when he says that for some people stablecoins become functional equivalents of bank deposits—but without the FDIC insurance, relationship ties, or regulatory protections banks provide. As Ron points out, this risk isn't theoretical: Deposit displacement has been happening for years. A new study from Cornerstone Advisors found that $2.15 trillion has already left banks for fintech investment accounts—two-third of it from Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. This is on top of the estimated $10 billion that Americans have sitting in merchant mobile apps like Starbucks' in any given week. So how can banks, who enjoy a great income stream from interchange right now, position themselves for a world of retailer stablecoins and instant payments? The networks have already been active—they are not sitting back and waiting—but on the general assumption that payments margins are on the way down, the banks' strategic response should be to add value around the transactions, not to try and survive off of shrinking interchange in the face of competition from non-card alternatives such as Walmart Pay-By-Bank or an Amazon coin. Those services might, for example, include safety and security, data and decisioning, not only the payments themselves.

10 Things You'll Only Find In A Southern Dorm Room

We don't need to tell you that the Southern college experience is a little different than those you'd have elsewhere: In this part of the world, campuses are shaded by live oaks or palmetto trees; game days are marked by sundresses and sports coats; and dining halls don't shy away from serving biscuits and gravy. Southern residence halls have their own flair and personality too. Here are nine things you'll only find in a Southern dorm room, according to our editors and readers. Related: 62 Reasons Why College Is Better In The South It's no secret that we love a monogram around here, and college students tend to embrace this custom to the extreme, from customized bedding and towels to shower caddies and book bags. Plus, in a shared space, personalization isn't just a matter of style, it's a matter of practicality; if your towels somehow end up in the communal washer with someone else's, it's much easier to reclaim yours when they bear your initials in colorful embroidery floss. Old dormitories do their best, but there's some Southern weather with which no AC unit can compete. That's why you can count on the presence of a big box fan (or two) and a dehumidifier in just about every room in the building. Like any dorm room, you're sure to find plenty of nibbles to satisfy cravings in the dining hall's off hours—just expect them to be a little different on a Southern campus. Count on Goo Goo Clusters and Moon Pies in the snack bin, boiled peanuts and Duke's mayo (in case they use a different brand in the college kitchen) in the mini fridge, and instant grits on top of the microwave since there's no stove for stirring together the real stuff. There's not much to love about the fluorescent lighting in a resident hall, so you can count on Southern students to bring in fixtures and lamps that better reflect their personal style and make for a welcoming setting with more ambiance. We've even seen chandeliers installed, though we're not quite sure how those folks made it happen. Lamps with shades that coordinate with the rest of the decor are an easier way to set the tone without any electrical work. We tend to overdo it sometimes in these parts, and our penchant for maximalism is never more evident than in our decorating. We've heard of more than one Southern mom calling on her interior designer to twirl up a scheme for her college student's dorm room. So if you ever stumble into a totally transformed cinder-block space, and think, 'Wow, this looks like it was done by a professional,' just know that it probably was. You'll often see raised twin beds in a dorm room, as they allow for more storage, so a long dust ruffle or bed skirt (whichever you want to call it) is an easy way to hide away all the extra belongings while maintaining the polished look they're accustomed to in a bedroom at home. Academics and extracurriculars require a lot of planning, but the Southern college social scene inspires its own kind of coordination. From Greek life mixers to game days, there's plenty to keep students occupied in the after-class hours, and you can count on them to be logging it all on an oversized dry erase calendar that can easily be updated from month to month. Think mounted deer heads and ducks are only for the farm camp? Think again. When it comes to the sporting crowd, don't be shocked if they pack up their favorite furry or feathery friends and bring them along to college. If you've ever spent a Saturday in The Grove at Ole Miss, it'll come as no surprise that you can find everything from giant hair rollers to make-up setting spray in the beauty collection of a Southern college student. You won't find a Southern dorm room without plenty of paraphernalia in the school's signature colors. From old-school pennants and giant flags to shakers and game day buttons, no space is complete without a touch of collegiate pride. Read the original article on Southern Living

How F1 aims to enter its 'biggest untapped market' with new arcade experience

Listen and subscribe to Sports Report on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. Formula One racing has become increasingly popular in the US, and F1 is looking to appeal to more than just racing fans with the rollout of F1 Arcade locations across the country. F1 Arcade, which entertains guests with live racing simulators and a variety of food and drink, has already opened locations in three US cities this year, and it plans to open three more. Residents in Boston, Las Vegas, Denver, Austin, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., will have the opportunity to dive into the newest experience. F1 Arcade global president of development Jon Gardner said on Yahoo Finance's Sports Report podcast that the US is currently "the biggest untapped market" for F1. In Las Vegas alone, those who attend F1 events spend an estimated four times as much as other Vegas visitors. Liberty Media (FWONB) has also inked a 10-year, $600 million deal, bringing the internationally popular races to the city. Gardner emphasized that partnerships like this and interactive experiences, like F1 Arcade, will only help expand F1's reach and build a bigger audience. "You might not be interested in Formula One, but you might be interested in the driver or what they're interested in, and then that's your gateway into this,' Gardner said. "[Formula One is] putting a lot of resource and capital behind the US. I think they see us as a matter of funnel for them, attracting the F1 fans with the non-F1 fans who, again, might want a night out, might want to do something fun that they have not done before. And then that creates more interest in the overall sport." Gardner discussed how the partnership with the increasingly popular racing brand has a wider appeal. "This is not just for F1 fans," Gardner said. "Yes, we want F1 fans to come here, but this is for people that want a new experience and to try something they've not had before." He explained that F1 Arcade is marketed toward a more general audience for "date night, group events, [and] social events." And the pursuit of non-fans has guided F1 Arcade's strategy when choosing new branch locations. Gardner said F1 Arcade isn't necessarily "shying away" from markets where F1 already has a following, but at the same time, "It's also looking where the right location is in the right time." He continued, "We have big sites; they're not the easiest to find. ... So finding the right partners from a landlord, finding the right deal structure, and then finding the right area that we feel like we can get involved in, in a deep way, all those things come together to create where we end up." Gardner thinks the F1 Arcade can cater to American consumers' desire for unique experiences, drawing a wide audience for a few memorable visits rather than creating more consistent customers. Between 2019 and 2023, Americans increased their spending on experiences by 65%, according to Forbes. "We [want] people to come back, and that repeat [customer] is very important to us, but ultimately they're not coming back to us 30 times a year, right?" Gardner said. "So they come back to us three, four times a year, that's amazing. But they're going to fill other weekends and other date nights out going other places." Ultimately, Gardner feels the memorable experience the F1 Arcade offers will draw fans and non-fans alike. "I also think people want new experiences," he said. "I think attention spans are getting shorter, people want to be able to interact, and they're not going into the office maybe as they used to. So people are finding ways to connect with colleagues and their partners and find something to do while they're having a drink or having food."
