The average interest rate for US savings accounts is 0.40%, and in the EU, the average rate on savings accounts is 0.25%, Collison said in response to VC Nic Carter’s X post outlining the rise of yield-bearing stablecoins and the future of the sector. Collison added: The business imperative here is clear — cheap deposits are great, but being so consumer-hostile feels to me like a losing position,” he continued. Read more
