Stablecoin Transactions Reach $46 Trillion: Outpacing Visa and ACH Networks

A new report from a16z crypto reveals that stablecoins have transacted an unprecedented $46 trillion in the past 12 months, surpassing even Visa ($16 trillion) and edging closer to the U.S. Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, which processed $87 trillion during the same period. This marks one of the clearest signals yet that blockchain-based money transfers are rapidly scaling to compete with traditional finance systems, rivaling some of the world’s largest payment providers by volume.
