Stablecoins Poised for Trillion-Dollar Market Cap by 2030, Says Citi Report
Stablecoins are transitioning from niche crypto applications to mainstream financial infrastructure, with Citi Group projecting a market capitalization exceeding $1.6 trillion by 2030. The April 24 report compares this growth trajectory to the explosive adoption of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, identifying 2025 as the inflection point for global economic integration.
Regulatory clarity and institutional demand for dollar-denominated digital assets are driving the shift. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, stablecoins offer the stability required for payments, settlements, and treasury operations—qualities now attracting traditional finance and public sector entities.
