The stablecoin market has reached a significant milestone, surpassing $300 billion in 2025. Major financial institutions, including JPMorgan and Citibank, forecast the market to expand to $2 trillion by 2028. This growth is driven by infrastructure improvements that enhance global access and facilitate the use of programmable money. Despite the positive outlook, recent incidents such as the collapse of Synapse underscore the ongoing need for robust security measures. The market is also witnessing a shift towards self-custody, as privacy and safety remain critical concerns in the rapidly evolving stablecoin sector. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin market continues to reflect broader cryptocurrency trends amid this expansion.
