According to Bloomberg, since the United States enacted the first regulatory law specifically targeting the cryptocurrency sector in July, the speed at which consumers and businesses are using stablecoins (digital tokens linked to the dollar) for real-world spending and payments is accelerating rapidly. According to a report from the blockchain data provider Artemis, by August 2025, the volume of transactions in stablecoins for goods, services, and transfers is expected to exceed 10 billion dollars, compared to 6 billion dollars in February of this year, which is more than double the transaction volume of August 2024. Artemis researchers claim that with this increase, the annual volume of payments in stablecoins could reach 122 billion dollars.
