The expansion of the stablecoin ecosystem is evident. Recent data shows that the global stablecoin market capitalization has surpassed $310 billion, with a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 70%. Among them, the two leading stablecoins USDT and USDC account for about 80% of market activity, indicating that market concentration remains high. Interestingly, an increasing number of institutions are changing their attitudes — no longer just using stablecoins for speculation, but treating them as genuine payment tools. Cross-border settlements and enterprise-to-enterprise payments are becoming the main driving forces in practical application scenarios. Industry research institutions predict that if large financial institutions continue to deepen cooperation and integration, the total supply of stablecoins could double by 2028, and the market potential remains quite significant.

70% growth sounds nice on a spreadsheet til you realize it's mostly tether printing again lol. usdt/usdc duopoly is basically systemic risk dressed up as "market efficiency"—one liquidity crisis and watch the whole thing cascade. institutional adoption narrative is cute but show me the actual transaction volumes that aren't circular trading... yeah that's what i thought.

310 billion break below, but the 80% concentration of USDT and USDC... how to say it, it just feels a bit like a variant of hoarding mentality. The institutions now talk about payment tools purely for compliance storytelling.

310 billion breakthrough sounds great, but the concentration is so high it's crazy; it's still USDT and USDC that make the decisions.

Stablecoins are quickly becoming the second SWIFT, but the issue of centralization has not been resolved yet.
