Crypto flows are already massive! Organic stablecoin transfers reached a jaw-dropping $719 billion in December 2024 and $717 billion in April 2025—the two highest months on record. Overall, total stablecoin volumes surpassed $27 trillion in 2024, outpacing the combined volumes of Visa and Mastercard by nearly 8%. Holder counts soared past 160 million in May. Talk about a digital gold rush! 🏆💵
Early Movers And Experiments
Even the big names are taking notes! At a recent Bloomberg Tech Summit, Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi revealed that the ridesharing giant is in a study phase for stablecoin payments. The goal? To lower costs when moving money around the globe.
