Recently, Messari published a report with forecasts for 2025, which also analyzed the trends of the current year.
And the main phenomenon has not been retro drops, meme coins, or even AI, but stablecoins, which have transformed from a niche tool into a global financial trend.
⬇️ Key findings from the report:
• Transaction volumes: Already in May, the monthly volume of transfers through stablecoins exceeded $3.5 trillion, comparable to Visa's quarterly volumes. By the end of the year, the total capitalization of stablecoins reached $200 billion, indicating growing trust from users and businesses.
• Wide functionality: Today, stablecoins are not just a means of providing liquidity on exchanges. They have become a key tool for B2B and P2P payments. In developing countries, stablecoins are replacing unstable national currencies, offering affordable and fast international transfers.
• Local leaders: USDT on the Tron blockchain has captured leadership in countries with limited access to banking services, thanks to low fees and liquidity.
• Technological advantages: Features such as smart contracts, instant transfers, low fees, and 24/7 availability allow stablecoins to gradually displace traditional payment systems.
• New usage models: The emergence of protocols like Ethena and Huma Finance has shown that stablecoins can be used not only for storing value and payments but also for generating yield and financing businesses.
📈 Forecasts for 2025:
• Increasing number of industries using stablecoins, including retail, insurance, and DeFi.
The growth of programmable stablecoins, allowing for the automation of payments, rentals, and other financial processes.
• Strengthening the role of stablecoins as the main bridge between traditional and decentralized finance.
In general, stablecoins have become a full-fledged instrument of the new financial world and have gone beyond the crypto industry.
