According to a Standard Chartered report<\/a>, stablecoins are shifting from initial use in crypto exchanges to broader applications in global finance.<\/p>\n

The study indicates that stablecoins are increasingly used for purposes akin to traditional finance, such as saving and transacting in U.S. dollars and facilitating cross-border payments.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered comments on how stablecoins' dominant use case is evolving.<\/p>\n

“There is growing evidence of increasing stablecoin use for a variety of purposes akin to those provided in traditional finance.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the report, one significant factor driving this shift is the demand for faster and more accessible cross-border transactions. Traditional correspondent banking systems have limitations, especially in emerging markets<\/a> with declining access. Stablecoins offer a solution by enabling the transfer of digital dollar assets at speeds comparable to email, bypassing the slow and sometimes unreliable traditional systems.<\/p>\n

The report highlights that stablecoins are now being adopted for saving in USD terms<\/a>, transacting in USD, and cross-border USD-to-USD transactions. A survey cited in the study found that in countries like Brazil, Turkey, Nigeria, India, and Indonesia, 69% of respondents use stablecoins for currency substitution, 39% for paying for goods and services, and another 39% for cross-border payments.<\/p>\n

While U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins dominate the market, accounting for 99.3% of the market capitalization, there's a growing interest in non-USD stablecoins. The emergence of stablecoins linked to other national currencies, such as the Turkish lira, indicates a potential shift towards more diverse offerings in the stablecoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The report also notes that the stablecoin<\/a> market cap is currently $163 billion, which is small compared to the overall financial markets but has significant room for growth. The potential for expansion is tied to regulatory developments. The report suggests,<\/p>\n

“We expect this use case to continue to grow, particularly if U.S. stablecoin regulation is passed, as now looks likely under a Trump administration.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Standard Chartered argues that the growing adoption of stablecoins for real-world applications highlights their role as a “first killer app” in digital assets. They provide an alternative for the unbanked and offer efficiencies in cross-border transactions that traditional systems have yet to match.<\/p>\n

Per the Standard Chartered report, the future of stablecoins appears promising<\/a>, with opportunities for increased adoption in both developed and emerging markets. The combination of technological advancement and regulatory support may position stablecoins as a significant component of the global financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered has been bullish on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market recently, recommending investors purchase Bitcoin below $60,000 regardless of this month's election outcome. With Bitcoin rallying toward $100,000, investors who followed this advice have garnered considerable returns in a short period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
