Ripple's 2025 Outlook: Stablecoins Reshaping Global Payments

Stablecoins are emerging as the backbone of modern cross-border transactions, combining blockchain efficiency with fiat-like stability. Ripple's latest research highlights their accelerating adoption across both traditional finance and Web3 ecosystems.

The $150B stablecoin market now facilitates near-instant settlements at a fraction of legacy costs. Dominant players like USDT and USDC continue expanding, while regional variants gain traction in volatile economies. Ripple's own RLUSD enters this competitive landscape as institutional demand grows.
