🚨 ONLY 1% OF $35 TRILLION IN STABLECOINS USED FOR REAL PAYMENTS
Stablecoins processed over $35 TRILLION in total transaction volume last year, but only about 1% — roughly $390 BILLION — was actually used for real-world payments such as payrolls, remittances, merchant purchases, or bill payments.$BTC
The overwhelming majority of stablecoin activity came from crypto-native use cases:
• Trading and arbitrage
• DEX and CEX swaps
• Onchain liquidity movements
• Internal transfers between wallets and protocols
📊 What this tells us:$BNB
• Stablecoins are still primarily financial plumbing, not consumer money
• “Payments adoption” remains early despite massive headline volumes
• Usage today is driven by markets, not merchants
🧠 Big picture:$ETH
While stablecoins are often marketed as the future of everyday payments, the data shows their real strength is currently as high-speed settlement rails for crypto markets. The gap between transaction volume and real-world usage highlights how much adoption growth is still needed — and how big the upside could be if stablecoins truly break into global payments at scale.
