YTD Stablecoin transaction volume has reached $𝟳.𝟮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻, now more than half of Visa’s total 2024 payments volume of $13.2 trillion 🤯 Here's a Stablecoin stats snapshot👇 Source: PitchBook report.

The 158.8% yoy spike in transaction volume is the single datapoint that matters here. It is instantly revealing that stablecoins have hit a monetary velocity inflection point & transitioned from a speculative crypto asset into an institutional-grade, cross-border payments utility, effectively positioning them for a structural conflict with existing correspondent banking rails. Something, I have touched upon recently in my paper
Fascinating data, Marcel! The $7.2T volume shows stablecoins are no longer experimental—they're becoming infrastructure. From a payment recovery lens, I'm curious about stablecoins' role in reducing involuntary churn. Traditional card failures (expired cards, insufficient funds, issuer declines) cost subscription businesses billions annually. Could stablecoins offer a more resilient payment rail for recurring payments? Lower decline rates, faster settlement, and programmable retry logic could be game-changing for customer retention. What's your take—are we seeing stablecoin adoption in subscription/SaaS payment flows yet, or is it still primarily P2P and remittances?
Fascinating to see how Stablecoin transactions are gaining such momentum, nearing Visa's annual volume. This really highlights the shifting dynamics in digital payments. Do you think this trend will continue to accelerate, and what impact might it have on traditional financial systems?
Marcel van Oost wow
