2025: The Year Stablecoins Take Over the World (Or at Least Your Wallet) 🌍💰

Top US crypto exchange Coinbase is calling 2025 the “breakout year” for a sector that’s been more popular than a Mel Brooks movie on a Friday night. 🎬🍿

In a new research report, Coinbase says that stablecoins are the future of money, and not just because they sound like a stable choice in an unstable world. 🌍💸

According to research done for Coinbase by The Block Pro Research, 81% of crypto-aware small and medium businesses (SMBs) are interested in using stablecoins, while the number of Fortune 500 companies that say their firm plans to use or are interested in stablecoins has gone up over 200% from 2024. That’s more growth than my hairline has seen in decades! 🤣

“With over 161 million stablecoin holders globally, plus a 54% growth in global stablecoin supply year-over-year, 2025 is shaping up to be the breakout year for stablecoins. It’s like the crypto version of a Broadway hit!”

Coinbase says stablecoins are currently the dominant force powering on-chain utility and real-time global payments. They’re like the Swiss Army knife of the crypto world, but without the corkscrew. 🛠️

“According to new research… organic stablecoin transfer volume has reached unprecedented levels with the two highest monthly volume transfers in history happening in the last 12 months. December 2024 set a monthly volume record of $719 billion, followed closely by April 2025’s $717.1 billion. It’s like the crypto version of Black Friday, but every day!”

Consumers, institutions, and small and medium businesses (SMBs) alike have identified stablecoins as a key solution to addressing their biggest financial pain points. Use cases include remittances with near-instant and low-cost cross-border transactions, lower payment processing fees, increased payroll efficiencies, inflation protection, and bridging payments gaps for the under and unbanked. It’s like a financial superhero, but without the cape. 🦸‍♂️

At time of writing, the entire stablecoin sector has a market cap of $260 billion, according to data from CoinGecko. That’s more than the GDP of some small countries, and I’m not just talking about my bank account. 🏦
