Stablecoins have clearly established strong product-market fit at the base layer level. The numbers tell the story: net issuance reached $90 billion, pushing the overall stablecoin market cap up roughly 45%. What's particularly interesting is how this growth isn't just about volume—it's reshaping how blockchain networks are designed. We're seeing the emergence of stablecoin-focused L1 blockchains, sometimes called "stablechains." These purpose-built chains prioritize stablecoin functionality from the ground up, reflecting how central stablecoins have become to the broader crypto infrastructure.

A net issuance of 9 billion is indeed impressive, but what truly matters are the real implementations of these "stable chains"; otherwise, it's just hype about concepts.

The net issuance of 9 billion is indeed a bit outrageous, but I have to say I’m not quite convinced about the concept of a stable chain... An L1 optimized specifically for stablecoins sounds like a complete mismatch.

Is the figure of 9 billion in net issuance real? It feels like just another bubble being blown.

9 billion net issuance directly takes off, this wave of stablecoins is really going to dominate the entire ecosystem Stable Chain? Isn't this basically saying that traditional finance is about to be overturned? I'm going all in But honestly, this is true infrastructure development, much more reliable than those flashy things This growth rate... why do I feel like I came late? Stablecoins are hot, what will the next wave be? Does anyone have any guesses?

9 billion net issuance? Damn, this growth rate is really insane. I didn't expect stablecoins to start building their own chains.

Net issuance of 9 billion, a 45% increase... Stablecoins are really about to take off. It seems that compared to trading cryptocurrencies, the position of stablecoins is becoming increasingly crucial.

Net issuance of 9 billion... It's good to talk, but from my MACD perspective, it looks like a top pattern, a full warning sign. So what if the stable chain is popular? Those who bought at high levels are still trapped. Don't talk to me about product fit; the technical aspect is the real thing. A 45% growth figure looks good, but reviewing now reveals it's a signal of distribution at high levels. I should have liquidated at the historical high points. This stablecoin cycle feels just like the last one... all technical indicators are weak, and only the data is singing. Designed specifically for stablecoins? Basically, it just means the scythe is getting faster. Bearish signals are everywhere.
