The news comes on the heels of Circle's record IPO, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, which marked a remarkable +40% on its first day of trading. This exploit has spotlighted a now-clear trend: stablecoins are no longer just tools for crypto-natives, but a strategic resource for Big Tech.

What to expect?

2025 could be the year when stablecoins step out of the shadow of crypto trading and become part of everyday economics.

✅ Buy ads on X using stable digital currencies

This entire scenario is closer than it seems.

Are we facing a payment revolution or a maneuver?
