Stablecoin payment flows could surge to $56.6 trillion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence, underscoring the growing role of dollar-linked digital assets in global payments.
Bloomberg estimates stablecoin flows reached $2.9 trillion in 2025, meaning the market would need to sustain an 81% compound annual growth rate over the next five years.
The expansion is expected to be driven by rising institutional adoption and increased reliance on stablecoins in economies facing inflation and financial instability.
Bloomberg data shows Tether’s USDT remains the most widely used stablecoin for payments and savings, while Circle’s USDC dominates decentralized finance activity.
Although decentralized platform usage declined as a share of total volume in 2025, overall transaction values surged. USDC recorded $18.3 trillion in volume, compared with USDT’s $13.3 trillion.
Together, the two stablecoins accounted for over 95% of last year’s $33 trillion in stablecoin transactions.
