Currently under 3% of cross-border flows, stablecoins could reach 12% by 2030. Driven by DeFi’s high capital efficiency and just-in-time liquidity. The study highlights that up to $27 trillion trapped in traditional payment systems could be unlocked through programmable settlement. While stablecoin adoption may reshape U.S. monetary policy by holding a significant share of Treasury bills.

With supply potentially reaching 10% of U.S. M2 money supply, stablecoins are positioned to become a central pillar of global finance.
