Total stablecoin supply has grown 33% in 2024
Monthly volumes now surpass Visa and PayPal
Stablecoins are playing a bigger role in global payments
The stablecoin market is having a breakout year. According to a recent report from Delphi Digital, the total supply of stablecoins has surged by 33% in 2024, reaching over $304 billion. This remarkable growth marks a significant shift in digital finance as stablecoins increasingly compete with—and in some cases surpass—legacy payment platforms.
What’s more striking is that monthly adjusted stablecoin volumes now exceed those of both Visa and PayPal. This signals a growing trend where digital assets are not only being used for trading but also for real-world payments and transfers.
Why Stablecoins Are Gaining Momentum
Stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar—offer a blend of low volatility and blockchain efficiency. They allow users to move money across borders instantly and with lower fees compared to traditional financial networks.
This utility is one of the main reasons why the market has seen a sharp increase in adoption in 2024. The rise in on-chain activity, combined with improved user interfaces and regulatory clarity in certain regions, has made stablecoins more accessible to the average user and businesses alike.

Implications for the Financial System
The fact that stablecoin volumes are now larger than Visa and PayPal’s monthly transactions is a major milestone. It suggests that blockchain-based financial systems are moving beyond speculation and becoming key infrastructure in the global economy.
As stablecoin networks continue to scale and integrate with traditional finance, they could reshape how money is moved globally—faster, cheaper, and more transparently. However, this also brings regulatory scrutiny, especially as governments look to roll out their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
