Stablecoins: The Silent Revolution in Global Payments

The stablecoin market is booming! With a trading volume of $33 trillion in the last year, stablecoins now surpass PayPal by 20 times and are approaching Visa's volume.

Some impressive statistics:

- Stablecoins now hold $128 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds (more than Saudi Arabia!)

- More than 1% of all USD has been tokenized as stablecoins

- USDC and Tether dominate the market

- Solana, Arbitrum, and Base are experiencing significant growth in stablecoin activity
