Stablecoin Market Booms Past $300B as Regulatory Concerns Rise

[chainsniff]

Stablecoins are growing at record speed: market cap is up 48% this year, crossing $300B. Tether leads with $183.8B and is now one of the world’s largest holders of US Treasuries.
Usage is accelerating too—monthly settlement volumes jumped from $6B to $10.2B, with B2B activity now making up two-thirds of flows.
Forecasts are even more dramatic: the market could reach $2T by 2028 and as high as $3.7T by 2030, embedding stablecoins deeply into global finance.
This rapid rise is exactly why European regulators fear the shocks a large-scale redemption could trigger.
