STABLECOIN EXPLOSION: 300 BILLION DOLLAR SHOCKWAVE
The digital economy's new powerhouse is here. Stablecoins have officially breached $300 billion. The GENIUS Act in the US is the green light for a new era. Regulation is now clearing the path for stablecoins to integrate with TradFi, becoming true payment tools.
Money is finding its flow. Visa data shows crypto card volume surged 525% to $91 million in 2025. The USD's dominance is being challenged as users embrace non-dollar stablecoins. Under MiCA, Euro stablecoin volume hit 8 billion Euro, proving the demand for USD-independent on-chain payments. Banks are scrambling. 49% are integrating stablecoins. Central banks are all in with wholesale CBDCs. The ECB is even considering putting CBDCs on public chains like Ethereum for interbank settlements. DeFi platforms are fueling this, providing deep liquidity for seamless cross-border transactions.
This is the end of traditional banking, or just a new guise for the old guard.
