Interest in Stablecoins Among Executives of Fortune 500 Companies Reaches All-Time High
With the booming cryptocurrency market, interest in stablecoins among American companies is rapidly increasing. Recent research shows that the percentage of executives interested in stablecoins among the global Fortune 500 companies surged from 8% in 2024 to 29% this year, more than tripling compared to a year ago. Small businesses are also following suit, as stablecoins are becoming a hot topic of discussion in boardrooms.
Research indicates that large enterprises have shown a significant increase in interest in stablecoins. Coinbase's latest report states that 29% of surveyed executives expressed interest in stablecoin partnerships, a substantial rise from last year's 8%. However, only 7% of companies are currently using or holding stablecoins, indicating that most businesses are still in the exploratory phase. The inefficiency and high costs of bank transfers are prompting these companies to seek better alternatives.
Small businesses are also following this trend. The same study shows that among 251 small and medium-sized enterprise financial decision-makers, 81% are interested in stablecoins, up from 61% last year. Nearly half expect to use cryptocurrencies in the next three years, and 82% believe cryptocurrencies can address real cost or cash flow issues. Whether it's reducing payment fees or speeding up cross-border transfers, these provide compelling reasons for small businesses to experiment.
Meanwhile, in 2024, the monthly transfer volume of stablecoins exceeded $710 billion twice, with total annual transactions surpassing $27 trillion, even 8% higher than the combined total of Visa and Mastercard. By May 2025, the number of stablecoin holders had exceeded 160 million.
Large enterprises are accelerating their exploration of stablecoins. On May 14, a Fireblocks report indicated that 90% of institutional participants are exploring the use of stablecoins for instant remittances and improving payroll efficiency. On June 5, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated that Uber is researching stablecoin payments to reduce costs and enhance fund transfer efficiency.
In summary, from large enterprises to small businesses, an increasing number of companies are rapidly recognizing the potential value of stablecoins, marking them as a new trend in the business landscape of the United States and even globally.
