When people ask for use cases for crypto, now you have something significant to share. 

Stablecoins reached $8.5 trillion in transaction volume across 1.1 billion transactions in the second quarter of 2024, which ended on June 30th.

Stablecoin transaction volumes more than doubled Visa’s $3.9 trillion in transactions over the same period.

We are at a tipping point now that Stablecoins have found product-market fit, and I don't think we will see a reversal in this trend.

I do think stablecoins are an unlock for mass adoption when you look at this chart. An interesting idea is that in two years, Stablecoins might be #2 on this list.

the perfect way to onboard billions - only for them to then see and understand the power of truly decentralized money

first one is 10-20 yr goal
second one is 20-50 yr goal

If we assume stableswaps are included and transactions are divided in half, the transaction volume is still comparable to Visa and significantly larger than PayPal. Notably, stablecoins account for almost a third of daily cryptocurrency usage, with a share of 32%.

stablecoins powerful and have PMF but i’m curious if this data includes stableswaps which inflate metrics
