#稳定币 Stablecoin settlements exceed $18 trillion annually, higher than the settlement volume of traditional payment channels like Visa and MasterCard.

The market value of stablecoins surpassed $280 billion in September! In March of this year, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that stablecoins could help extend the dominance of the U.S. dollar by making it easier to access globally. Since then, stablecoins have become an important pillar of the Trump administration's plan to make the U.S. a dominant force in the crypto industry.

After the U.S. passed the GENIUS Stablecoin Act, other sovereign nations began exploring the launch of their own stablecoins to enhance the sellability of their local currencies in the international foreign exchange market.

According to Citigroup analysts' predictions last week, the stablecoin market is expected to reach $1.9 trillion under a "baseline" scenario by 2030 and $4 trillion under a "bullish" scenario, up from previous forecasts of $1.6 trillion and $3.7 trillion, respectively. Citigroup analysts also indicated that stablecoins would not disrupt the banking industry, contrary to concerns expressed by the banking sector, but rather would help reform the financial system alongside tools like tokenized bank deposits.

"Skeptics again claim that banks will be disintermediated, but we do not believe that cryptocurrencies will destroy the existing system. On the contrary, it is helping us to reimagine it."
