Stablecoin Payments Predicted to Reach $850 Billion by 2030

A new report from OKG Research indicates that the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments is projected to reach a staggering $850 billion by 2030. This forecast, based on current growth rates exceeding 60%, demonstrates the rapid adoption of these blockchain-based payment solutions. According to the study, stablecoin payments already represent approximately 7.3% of the global personal cross-border remittance market, which totals $696 billion as of 2024. This surge in popularity is attributed to the advantages offered by stablecoins: low fees, real-time settlements, and around-the-clock availability, which are gradually making them a viable alternative to traditional cross-border remittance channels.
