The supply of stablecoins has surged to a record $283.2 billion—and that is no joke. There are now 25.2 million monthly senders, meaning every fifth crypto holder considers it necessary to add at least a drop of stability to their portfolio.
In 2025, startups in this sector attracted $621.81 million in funding—seven times more than a year ago. The largest deal: a solid $300 million raised by Hong Kong’s OSL Group. All this happened after Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act - arguably the most truly “genius” piece of crypto legislation in history.
Trump’s “green light” has allowed corporate giants to feel at ease. Now Circle, with USDC, is raising billions for an IPO, with its shares already trading at $144. Meanwhile, serious banking players like Stripe, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are also rushing “to the table,” launching their own stablecoins. Even JPMorgan does not intend to fall behind—their JPMD, now branded as Base, is confidently going mainstream.
It seems the emotional swings of the crypto market have become tiresome, and it is time for a smooth (and hopelessly stable) period of growth, although, when it comes to crypto, any stability is just a temporary illusion.
