Market Timeliness Fuels Stablecoin Application
Stablecoins have emerged as programmable, dollar-pegged digital assets that enable fast, transparent, and borderless payments. Despite being relatively new, they already process between $20-30 billion in on-chain transactions per day--less than 1% of global money movement, but growing rapidly.
"Stablecoins unlock a powerful new rail for enterprises to streamline B2B payments faster, cheaper, and programmable. More companies are now exploring how to integrate digital currencies into their ERP and treasury processes and launching pilots to assess real-world benefits. Institutional adoption will accelerate when businesses are simply able to add stablecoins to existing payment factories leveraging solutions like SAP Digital Currency Hub." -- Tushar Gulhane, SAP
Recent regulatory developments, including the GENIUS Act (US) and MiCA (EU), reflect institutional recognition of stablecoins' relevance in financial markets. As stablecoins gain traction in use cases such as remittances, interbank settlement, B2B treasury, and capital markets, their adoption is projected to reach $2 trillion in circulating supply by 2028.
"U.S. dollar stablecoins are now the preferred way to access dollars across many emerging markets--and they increasingly function as money. SMEs hold and pay in stablecoins end-to-end rather than converting back to bank deposits. With clearer rules and multiplying real-world uses, 2025 is an inflection point for global adoption. XREX Pay--operating under a Singapore Major Payment Institution (MPI)--demonstrates compliant innovation at scale. As host of the Stablecoin Summit, we're convening global leaders to set standards and accelerate responsible adoption." -- Wayne Huang, Co-founder and CEO, XREX Group
"I truly believe that stablecoins are a groundbreaking development in digital payments, providing stability and efficiency. They offer significant potential to expand the global use of currencies like the Chinese RMB, which is not yet freely traded. By improving convertibility and adoption, stablecoins could support the RMB's rise as a global currency, potentially rivaling the USD. Such a shift could modernize China's monetary framework and strengthen its position in international financial markets." -- Angelina Kwan, CEO, Stratford Finance
The Growing Mandate for Institutional Stablecoin Adoption
2025 is expected to be a milestone year for institutional stablecoin adoption.
- Central banks and regulators are experimenting with tokenized money at scale
- Fintechs and card processors are integrating on-chain stablecoin settlement into backend infrastructure
- Demand is growing for non-USD stablecoins to power local commerce and FX in Asia, Latin America, and Africa
- Banks are exploring stablecoins as a competitive tool for cross-border trade, SME finance, and liquidity management
As stablecoins shift from crypto-native tools to mainstream financial infrastructure, Stablecoin Summit 2025 will offer a global platform for stakeholders to align on infrastructure, policy, and product design.
