Stablecoins are going where crypto of 2021 failed to go... mainstream!
Funding to stablecoin companies is projected to rise to $12.3B in 2025 — more than 10x 2024's $1B in funding. This represents one of the most dramatic year-over-year funding increases in any sector, reflecting mainstream financial institutions entering the market, expanding use cases beyond transactions, and growing regulatory clarity worldwide.
What is driving the explosive funding growth?
↳ Mainstream Financial Institution Entry: Major players like Mastercard, Visa, and established banks are now enabling stablecoin transactions and issuing their own stablecoins
↳ Regulatory Clarity: Growing regulatory frameworks worldwide are providing the certainty needed for institutional investment
↳ Expanding Use Cases: Stablecoins are evolving beyond simple stores of value into yield-bearing tools and liquidity products
↳ Global Expansion: International payments have emerged as a crucial application, with cross-border infrastructure companies receiving significant attention
As regulatory frameworks solidify and enterprise adoption accelerates, stablecoin companies are positioned to capture significant market share in the global payments and financial infrastructure markets.
