Stablecoins are undeniably one of the biggest trends right now, and that’s not about to stop, according to Bloomberg. The firm estimates that flows related to this type of cryptocurrency could reach 56,000 billion dollars by 2030.
Stablecoins will continue to gain momentum, according to Bloomberg
Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence report that stablecoin transactions reached a record high in 2025: 33,000 billion dollars. This represents an 81% year-over-year increase.
The trend could accelerate: Bloomberg expects transaction volumes to exceed $56,000 billion by 2030.
Bloomberg’s forecasts for stablecoin volumes
In terms of market capitalization, stablecoins are now worth $312 billion, but this figure is growing rapidly. It could reach $2,000 billion by 2028, according to data from the U.S. Treasury.
USDC overtakes USDT in transaction volume
Circle’s USDC leads the pack with $18,300 billion in transaction volume, followed by Tether with $13,300 billion in USDT transactions. Together, these two stablecoins account for 95% of all stablecoin transactions.
USDT still leads in terms of gross market capitalization. According to CoinGecko, Tether’s flagship stablecoin is currently valued at $186 billion, compared to $74 billion for the USDC.
The dominance of these two protocols could be challenged in the coming years with the massive influx of private stablecoins into the market. Indeed, many companies and financial institutions have announced the launch of their own stablecoins in recent months.
Beyond the impressive figures cited by Bloomberg Intelligence, the rise of stablecoins raises a broader question: that of their future role in the global financial system. Some see this as the emergence of cross-border payment tools capable of directly competing with traditional banking networks. Others, on the contrary, believe that the proliferation of stablecoins will inevitably lead to a process of market consolidation. The coming years will reveal which ones will truly succeed in establishing themselves.
