Stablecoins may be on the verge of a massive shift in global finance. Bloomberg Intelligence now projects that stablecoin payment flows could reach $56.6 trillion by 2030 — a dramatic leap from the $2.9 trillion seen in 2025.
According to the report, USDT continues to dominate everyday payments and emerging-market usage, while USDC is still the preferred choice in DeFi. Together, they drove more than 95% of last year’s record transaction volume.
What’s interesting is how quickly traditional finance is moving in. Western Union, MoneyGram and even Zelle are building stablecoin-based settlement systems, and countries like Canada and the U.K. are preparing their own regulatory frameworks.
It’s becoming clearer that stablecoins aren’t just a crypto trend — they’re evolving into real payment infrastructure with global reach.
The big question now: how fast will the world shift to digital dollars?
