U.S. stablecoin payment usage surges 70%, with annual volume expected to reach $122 billion

Since the US passed its first regulatory bill targeting the cryptocurrency stablecoin sector in July, the use of stablecoins by consumers and businesses for real-world payments has increased significantly. Blockchain data firm Artemis indicates that by August 2025, total stablecoin transactions for goods, services, and transfers will exceed $10 billion, a 70% increase from $6 billion in February of this year and double the amount from the same period last year. Researchers estimate that if the current growth rate continues, annual stablecoin payments could reach $122 billion. (Bloomberg)
