Are stablecoins crypto’s AWS moment?

Forget moon shots and memecoins—stablecoins are quietly becoming crypto’s most disruptive force. Just as AWS turned Amazon from a bookstore into a trillion-dollar cloud empire, dollar-pegged tokens are reshaping finance from the ground up.

Wall Street hates how it’s happening without their permission.

These digital dollars now settle more volume than Visa, yet most bankers still dismiss them as ’play money.’ Meanwhile, Argentina’s inflation-weary citizens trade pesos for USDC faster than you can say ’currency crisis.’ The irony? Traditional finance built this demand by hoarding dollars offshore—now crypto cuts out the middleman.

Will regulators strangle this growth? Probably. But like AWS in 2006, the infrastructure’s already built. The genie’s out of the bottle—and this one wears a DeFi hoodie.
