Research indicates that the market cap of USD-pegged stablecoins has surged 46% year-over-year, with total trading volume reaching $27.6 trillion, surpassing the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions in 2024. The average circulating supply is also up 28% from the previous year, reflecting sustained market demand. Once used primarily for crypto trading and DeFi collateral, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border payments and real-world asset management, reinforcing their growing importance in the global financial system. More banks and enterprises are starting to issue their own stablecoins. Standard Chartered launched an HKD-backed stablecoin, and PayPal issued PYUSD. The CEO of Bank of America has expressed interest in launching a stablecoin once regulations permit (via CNBC).
