Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire predicts that stablecoins are approaching a transformative phase similar to the iPhone's impact on technology, as major companies like Walmart and Amazon consider launching their own stablecoins. Allaire's remarks underscore the potential of programmable digital dollars to reshape the financial sector. Meanwhile, Shopify plans to integrate Circle's USDC by 2025, further signaling the growing adoption of stablecoins. A16z Crypto's Daren Matsuoka highlights the potential for stablecoins to onboard a billion users, noting their $33 trillion transaction volume over the past year. Circle's recent debut on the NYSE, which saw its shares rise by 167%, contrasts with Tether's choice to remain private, emphasizing the increasing significance of stablecoins in the crypto market.
