Stablecoins to Hit $1T? Crypto’s Next Big Boom or Bust!

Hold onto your hats, folks! The global stablecoin supply might just hit a whopping $1 trillion by the end of 2025. That’s right, a trillion with a “T”! 🤑 According to CoinFund’s David Pakman, this could be the rocket fuel for the next crypto rally. 🚀

“We’re in a stablecoin adoption upswell that’s likely to increase dramatically this year,” Pakman said during CryptoMoon’s Chainreaction live show on X on March 27. “We could go from $225 billion stablecoins to $1 trillion just this calendar year.” I mean, who needs a savings account when you’ve got stablecoins, am I right? 💸

Pakman noted that while this growth might seem like a drop in the bucket compared to global financial markets, it’s a “meaningfully significant” shift for blockchain-based finance. Translation: the nerds are winning. 🏆

He also suggested that the rise in capital flowing onchain, combined with growing interest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), could further support decentralized finance (DeFi) activity:

“If we have a moment this year where ETFs are permitted to provide staking rewards or yield to holders, that unlocks really meaningful uplift in DeFi activity, broadly defined.”

As of March 28, the aggregate stablecoin supply stood at an all-time high of above $208 billion across the five largest stablecoins, according to Glassnode data. That’s a lot of digital Monopoly money. 🎩

“This is the major catalyst that’s been missing for over a decade: a major movement of people’s wealth onchain that brings everyone else on,” added Pakman. So, basically, the blockchain is the new Wall Street. 🏦

The growing stablecoin supply recently surpassed $219 billion and continues to rise, suggesting that the market is “likely still mid-cycle” as opposed to the top of the bull run, according to IntoTheBlock analysts. In other words, the party’s not over yet. 🎉

Stablecoin payment adoption on the rise

Stablecoins are now being used for daily payments, proving that blockchain-based transactions are more than just a fad. “We’re up over 22x in stablecoin volume since 2021,” Pakman said, adding:

“We’ve seen a significant decrease in the size of each stablecoin transaction, which points to the fact that they are being used more as payments and less for large transfers.”

This aligns with recent comments from CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju, who said stablecoins are increasingly being used for remittance payments and as a store of value. However, Ju said stablecoin supply won’t pump Bitcoin’s (BTC) price without additional catalysts. So, don’t go selling your kidneys just yet. 🍴
