#BigTechStablecoin

Tech giants like Apple, Google, Airbnb, and X (formerly Twitter) are exploring the integration of stablecoins into their payment platforms. These digital currencies, pegged to the dollar, would reduce costs and streamline international transactions. In 2024, payments with stablecoins exceeded $27.6 trillion, surpassing Visa and Mastercard. This interest coincides with the successful stock market debut of Circle, issuer of USDC, whose stock quadrupled after its IPO. The possible approval of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. could further accelerate this adoption. Stablecoins are shaping up to be the bridge between traditional finance and the digital economy.
