Institutions and DeFi Rely on Stablecoins as Core Financial Infrastructure
-

Stablecoins are now central to both institutional workflows and decentralized finance. Nearly half of surveyed institutions in 2025 already use stablecoins operationally, with common applications including supplier payments and treasury management.
In DeFi, stablecoins serve as low-volatility collateral in lending and trading protocols like Aave and Curve, while yield-bearing stablecoins turn idle funds into productive capital. Onchain transfer volumes for stablecoins have reached multitrillion-dollar levels, rivaling traditional payment networks.
Industry analysts project the stablecoin supply could reach $2 trillion by 2028 as infrastructure, regulation, and adoption mature, positioning stablecoins as a foundational layer connecting crypto and mainstream finance.
