Standard Chartered Predicts Stablecoin Market to Reach $2 Trillion by 2030
The bank's latest research forecasts a $2 trillion stablecoin market by 2030, though it did not disclose the assumptions or methodology behind the estimate.
Standard Chartered Bank forecasts that the global stablecoin market will reach $2 trillion by 2030, according to its latest research report. The bank did not disclose the specific assumptions or calculation methodology behind the projection.
The report also names three categories of stablecoins that investors should watch, but the publicly available excerpt does not list specific tokens or provide data such as market capitalization or circulating supply. The stablecoin market is currently dominated by USDT and USDC, while tokens issued by traditional payment institutions, such as PYUSD, are also expanding.
If the $2 trillion forecast holds, stablecoins would extend further from a medium of exchange into cross-border settlement and machine-to-machine payment scenarios. Standard Chartered did not provide a year-by-year path for the projection.
