Stablecoin payments have skyrocketed from $335,000 in 2022 to $28 billion in 2025, marking an 806-fold increase. This surge highlights a significant shift in the financial landscape as traditional systems like SWIFT, which handles $2.8 trillion daily, face challenges due to their lengthy settlement times and high fees. The rapid adoption of stablecoins underscores the growing demand for faster and more cost-effective payment solutions, positioning them as a formidable alternative to legacy financial infrastructures.
