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. cc: @eriks @ted Source: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/state-of-crypto-report-2024/#section--4

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%.
