The stablecoin sector is becoming the new darling of venture capital! 🎉 According to The Block, Y Combinator has listed stablecoins as a key focus area for the Winter 2025 batch. Recently, several projects have secured significant funding: for example, usdx.money completed a $45 million financing at a valuation of $275 million, while Binance Labs invested in the stablecoin protocol Perena in the Solana ecosystem.

Additionally, Quantoz Payments, a MiCA-compliant stablecoin issuer in the EU, has also received investments from major players like Tether and Kraken. Stripe acquired the stablecoin payment platform Bridge for $1.1 billion, setting a record for the largest merger and acquisition deal in the cryptocurrency industry. 🔍

Looking ahead, Will Nuelle from Galaxy Ventures predicts that by the end of 2026, the transaction volume of stablecoins in non-cryptocurrency use cases will reach $1 trillion, accounting for 1% of the global cross-border B2B payment market. At the same time, Juan Lopez from VanEck Ventures forecasts that over the next 3-5 years, about 30% of remittances between the U.S. and Mexico will be completed using stablecoins. 🌐

The future of stablecoins seems full of opportunities and challenges, and investors are closely monitoring the dynamic developments in this sector. 📈
