JPMorgan Considers Launching Its Own Stablecoin

Banks large and small have started to warm up to the idea of their own stablecoins, despite early doubts from some executives that there will be much demand for them, as non-bank companies like Visa (V), BlackRock (BLK), Google (GOOGL), and DoorDash (DASH) enter the market, The Wall Street Journal's Gina Heeb and Vicky Ge Huang report. JPMorgan (JPM) recently evaluated whether it could launch its own stablecoin, according to people familiar with the matter. The largest U.S. bank already has a tokenized deposit called JPM Coin and its own blockchain. A group of more than a dozen financial institutions including Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Santander (SAN) has been moving forward on a stablecoin venture that would reach across the globe, according to people familiar with the matter.

FTC Seeks Public Comment on Personalized Pricing Policy

The Federal Trade Commission announced it is seeking public comment on an enforcement policy statement regarding personalized pricing, which is the use of personal data to set prices according to the amount that a company believes an individual consumer is willing to spend. "When consumers see a listed price, they expect it to be same price that everyone else sees, not the retailer's estimate of how much they are willing to pay based on their personal data," said FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson. "The FTC does not have the legal authority to ban personalized pricing in all circumstances, but businesses that fail to tell consumers how their personal data is being used to set a price may be in violation of the FTC Act and other laws we enforce. We are seeking public input on this draft statement, which would put businesses engaged in or considering personalized pricing on notice that the Trump-Vance FTC will not hesitate to enforce the law in this space." The statement goes on to note that the undisclosed collection or use of personal data for the purpose of personalized pricing could violate the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in the marketplace.

Reservation Apps Compete for Exclusive Restaurant Bookings

Reservation apps are competing to sign up restaurants, hoping to lock tables exclusively for their users, Heather Haddon and Adam Chandler of The Wall Street Journal reports. Membership clubs are appearing for people willing to pay extra to secure tables while credit-card companies, such as Visa (V) and Chase (JPM), are paying restaurants for blocks of early seats to then offer as a perk for their cardholders. Additionally, delivery apps are joining the fray, with Uber Eats (UBER) partnering with OpenTable and DoorDash (DASH) buying SevenRooms for $1.2B last year.
