Stablecoins Officially Surpass Traditional Finance
In the first quarter of 2025, the volume of stablecoin transactions surpassed the volume of Visa transactions, recording over $6 trillion - nearly double the volume of Visa transactions, according to data from @BitwiseInvest
Let's digest this:
← Permissionless
← Borderless
← 24/7 Settlement
← No Intermediaries
Stablecoins are no longer just a side tool for cryptocurrencies - they have become the foundation for a new global payment layer
Traditional rail systems cannot compete with this level of volume and efficiency
The shift is happening faster than anyone expected
