Institutional adoption is driving the size of stablecoins to potentially reach $2 trillion by 2028.

Data shows that the stablecoin market reached $310 billion on December 12, 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 70%. USDT and USDC together accounted for about 80% of market activity. Multiple studies indicate that institutional use of stablecoins is shifting from speculation to practical operational scenarios, primarily for cross-border settlements and corporate payments. Industry analysts predict that if large financial institutions further consolidate their holdings, the stablecoin supply could reach $2 trillion by 2028. (Cointelegraph)
