According to PANews, Voltage CEO Graham Krizek predicts that the Lightning Network will handle at least 5% of global stablecoin transactions by 2028. In an interview, Krizek highlighted the potential of stablecoins to accelerate the adoption of the Lightning Network, describing it as the best scaling tool for stablecoins. He anticipates that stablecoin transaction volumes on the network could reach billions of dollars.
Currently, stablecoin activity on the Lightning Network is minimal, but Krizek expects this to change soon. He noted that stablecoins have only recently been introduced to the network, and major players like Tether have yet to launch their services. As a result, the transaction volume is currently negligible, but growth is expected in the latter half of this year.
In January, Tether announced plans to introduce USDT support for the native Lightning Network, signaling the beginning of potential changes in the network's transaction dynamics.
