Stablecoins Surpass $295 Billion as Regulation Evolves

[ed]

Stablecoins continued their climb in September, crossing a total market cap of $295 billion after adding nearly $5 billion in one week.
Regulators are moving fast:

The CFTC is exploring tokenized assets like stablecoins for use as derivatives collateral.

Australia’s ASIC introduced a licensing exemption for intermediaries distributing stablecoins.
But not all regulators are welcoming. A senior Bank of Italy official warned that cross-border stablecoins may pose risks to Europe’s financial system.

Stablecoins hit $295B in Sept, adding $5B in just one week. The CFTC is now exploring stablecoins as derivatives collateral — a sign of deeper integration with traditional finance.

Takeaway: If approved, this could make stablecoins a core part of traditional finance infrastructure, boosting demand and legitimizing them as institutional-grade assets.
