Stablecoin flows could near $56T by 2030: Bloomberg
Increased adoption of stablecoins by institutions and countries with economic instability could drive stablecoin payment flows to $56 trillion by 2030.
Stablecoin payment flows could tap $56.6 trillion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence, a rise that would make stablecoins one of the most important payment tools in global finance.
Flows totaled $2.9 trillion in 2025, Bloomberg data shows, implying growth of around 80% annually over the five years to 2030 if the projection is realized — a rise driven by increasing institutional adoption and growing use of stablecoins in economies facing inflation and financial instability.
Bloomberg noted that Tether (USDT) continues to be the most used stablecoin for everyday payments, business transactions and as a savings vehicle, while Circle’s USDC (USDC) stablecoin is the most preferred on decentralized finance platforms.
