In October 2024, the firm launched stablecoin payment options, which saw rapid adoption across 70 countries on its first day.Stablecoin Market to Surge 10x to $2 Trillion by 2030Citigroup has projected a dramatic rise in the stablecoin market, forecasting that its total market capitalization could soar from nearly $240 billion today to over $2 trillion by 2030.The prediction says the growth in adoption would be driven by regulatory developments and increased interest from both financial institutions and the public sector.According to the banking giant, stablecoin supply could reach $1.6 trillion by the end of the decade under its base-case scenario, while a more optimistic outlook places the figure at $3.7 trillion.As reported, the number of active stablecoin wallets has surged by over 50% in the past year, reflecting growing adoption and engagement within the digital asset ecosystem.The post Stripe Unveils Stablecoin Financial Accounts for Businesses in 101 Countries appeared first on Cryptonews.
