Stablecoins Soar Past $320 Billion Amid Global Adoption

The stablecoin market has reached new heights in 2026, with a total value of $320 billion as of May and estimated transaction volumes exceeding $28 trillion in 2025.

This growth is driven by increased adoption for international payments, remittances, and access to dollar savings in countries with unstable currencies. Banks, payment companies, and fintech platforms are building stablecoin-based settlement systems, but regulators remain concerned about reserve quality and the risk of sudden redemption runs.

Ethereum dominates the real-world asset tokenisation market, accounting for 54.1% of total supply in Q2 2026. This trend promises faster settlement, fractional ownership, and around-the-clock trading access.
