Regulatory developments shape the stablecoin industry in 2025
According to Odaily, on July 22, the Web3 security company CertiK published the 'Stablecoins Landscape Report for the First Half of 2025', which emphasized that global regulation is a key factor in the development of the stablecoin industry. Thanks to legislative advancements in the U.S. with the 'STABLE Act' and 'GENIUS Act', as well as the formal implementation of EU regulations 'MiCA', compliance has become crucial for stablecoins to gain trust in the market.
The report notes that institutional projects with licenses and transparent reserves receive higher trust in the market, while issuers that have not completed compliance are gradually marginalized by major trading platforms. Traditional financial institutions, such as Société Générale and Bank of America, are accelerating their stablecoin business structures, fostering deeper integration between crypto assets and traditional finance. Under the dual influence of regulatory compliance and institutional participation, stablecoins are entering a new stage of development.
The report forecasts that stablecoins backed by real-world assets (RWA) and profit-generating models will become the main lines of innovation, potentially capturing 8% to 10% of over $300 billion market by the end of the year. It also highlights that strict risk management, transparent operational mechanisms, and proactive compliance will be key to achieving long-term sustainable development of stablecoin projects.
