#StablecoinSurge Stablecoins have brought speed, transparency, and accessibility to payments that traditional systems can’t match. What started as a tool for crypto trading, has now become a mainstream payment rail. Around $17 trillion stablecoin transactions were made in 2024, with payments accounting for an estimated $5 trillion of those (that’s over a third of the volume processed by Visa). In 2025, we predict that global payments volume will continue to move on-chain. Stablecoin payments will surpass $8 trillion, cementing their place as a core global payment rail.
