🇺🇸 Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, predicts that stablecoin adoption will soar in 2025, becoming a key tool for wholesale transactions. He noted that in 2024, stablecoin usage decoupled from crypto trading, with over 1.1 billion transactions settling $8.5 trillion—more than double Visa's volume. Palihapitiya believes this growth will challenge the duopoly of Visa and Mastercard, especially amid rising credit card rates. He also addressed regulatory concerns, emphasizing that blockchain technology provides transparency and traceability for transactions. Last year, he forecasted that 2024 would see bitcoin achieve mainstream adoption. 💰
