The expected market value of stablecoins is projected to reach between $1.6 trillion and $3.7 trillion by 2030.

Previously, the valuation of stablecoins and their expanded use relied heavily on their value stability and efficiency as a payment tool; however, current growth is increasingly dependent on their ability to:

Integrate into traditional financial infrastructure.

Provide high institutional liquidity.

Operate in organized and efficient secondary markets.

Data confirms that stablecoins currently represent 62% of transaction volume in the first quarter of 2025, up from 23% in 2023, reflecting a shift from individual use to widespread institutional reliance.

Despite progress in the regulatory framework – as seen with the “GENIUS” Act in the United States and the “MiCA” Act in Europe – a gap still exists in secondary trading markets, which are fundamental for any sustainable expansion.

Current regulation focuses on issuance and custody, while institutions rely on trading environments that provide a variety of stablecoin pairs, immediate and reliable liquidity, integration with decentralized finance, and compliance with institutional storage.

It is worth noting that the current primary function of stablecoins is to serve as bridges between traditional currencies and blockchain, as in the case of USDC, which processed flows valued at $850 billion.
