Stablecoins are transforming from cross-border tools into domestic payment infrastructure, with global transaction volumes exceeding $10 trillion after adjustments. Driven by low transaction fees on networks like Solana and Base, small transfers under $250 are expected to surge between 2025 and 2026, prompting companies like Stripe and PayPal to integrate. U.S. policies are shifting toward coordinated regulation to support innovation, with tokenized stocks soaring nearly 3000% to reach $1.1 billion. Despite a net inflow of $619 million into institutional crypto products, macroeconomic uncertainties caused by rising oil prices have led to a slowdown in inflows later this week. As stablecoins become a key medium of exchange in the evolving digital economy, Bitcoin’s store of value function is also being reinforced.
