Citi Forecasts 10% of Global Post-Trade Turnover Will Use Stablecoins and Tokenized Securities by 2030

A new report from Citi predicts a significant transformation in the post-trade market. By 2030, 10% of global trade volume will be conducted using stablecoins and tokenized securities, according to their Securities Services Evolution study. This shift is expected to be driven by bank-issued stablecoins and blockchain technology’s ability to enhance efficiency, liquidity, and cost reduction in post-trade operations. The survey, which included responses from 537 institutions across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, highlights GenAI adoption accelerating significantly across the industry.
