It Turns Out Crypto’s Stablecoin Adoption is Around 1% of Previous Estimates

It Turns Out Crypto’s Stablecoin Adoption is Around 1% of Previous Estimates

Tech-news , ,

Stablecoins were all the rage in 2025. The GENIUS Act provided much needed regulatory clarity for the dollar-pegged crypto tokens, and tech giants like Stripe and Sony got involved with their own related products and services.

President Trump has also reportedly profited handsomely from stablecoins and the crypto sector more generally, although the USD1 stablecoin he’s affiliated with has been at the center of serious corruption allegations. Additionally, Wall Street veteran Tom Lee made headlines by referring to stablecoins as crypto’s ChatGPT moment, echoing a report released by Citi earlier in the year.

The crypto industry often pointed to blockchain data to prove that 2025 was indeed a record year for stablecoins in terms of adoption. However, a new report from McKinsey Financial Services indicates the metrics used to show how much stablecoin adoption had increased in the past few years are extremely misleading.

Raw blockchain transfers are oftentimes pointed to as proof of stablecoin adoption, but the reality is only a small percentage of this activity—around 1% of roughly $35 trillion in total transaction volume—is actually related to real-world payments. This means stablecoin adoption, which the report estimates at $390 billion for 2025, only accounts for around 0.02% of global payments.

According to the report, B2B payments and international remittances account for most of the stablecoin payment activity, and activities such as crypto exchanges moving funds between blockchain accounts, automated activity with smart contracts, and trading on decentralized exchanges should not be included in payment measurements. The report also indicates around 60% of this activity is originating in Asia, adding, “Activity today is driven almost entirely by payments sent from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.”

Of course, overblown or outright false adoption metrics are not new in the crypto world. Various data points, such as increased on-chain activity around decentralized finance (DeFi) apps, can be used to tell all kinds of tall tales. There has also been plenty of hype built around metrics such as transactions per second over the years, which tend to miss the point of what makes this technology valuable.

Despite the clear overstatements in stablecoin payment adoption made by various entities in the crypto industry, the report also indicates there are still signs of real growth. For example, the $390 billion in stablecoin payments occurring in 2025 is more than double what was seen in the previous year. Additionally, the total supply of stablecoins has increased from less than $30 billion in 2020 to more than $300 billion today.

Of course, not all of this was necessarily positive adoption, as a report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis indicated that stablecoins now account for the vast majority of illicit crypto transfers. Reports have also pointed to heavy use of Tether’s USDT stablecoin by the Maduro regime, and adoption by the Central Bank of Iran shows why a pro-stablecoin policy in the U.S. is a double-edged sword.

More generally, the prominence of stablecoins in crypto has caused a rift between cypherpunks focused on ideology and fintech startups focused strictly on adoption metrics. While stablecoins were originally seen as a boon for crypto adoption, it’s now gotten to the point where stablecoin issuers are launching their own blockchain infrastructure, adding another layer of centralized control to the tech stack.

While those like the aforementioned Tom Lee see the issuance of stablecoins and other tokens based on real world assets, such as tokenized stocks, as bullish for decentralized crypto networks like Ethereum, questions remain over how much value will accrue to these open protocols or if stablecoin issuers and other centralized entities could successfully cut these networks out of the equation entirely.

All eyes are on Maine this week. Political operatives in Trumpworld tell Inner Loop they hope embattled senate candidate Graham Platner will stay in the race as long as possible—the state’s electoral chaos can only help Republicans, they claim.

Platner, a US Marine veteran, overcame a string of controversies to easily win the Democratic primary last month. Platner is supposed to face incumbent Republican Susan Collins in the general election in one of the nation’s most closely watched races in November, but a litany of Democratic officials are now calling for him to drop out.

On Monday, a woman in Maine accused Platner of sexual assault and told Politico that he had once forced her to have sex over her objections. (Platner’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment, though it previously denied the allegation in a statement to Politico.)

Platner had previously been accused of mistreating women, had covered up a Nazi tattoo, and was linked to multiple offensive online comments. Over the past 24 hours, Democrats from Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Chuck Schumer have called for him to step out of the race.

Trumpworld operatives say their hope—unsurprisingly—is that Platner stays in the race, given his increasingly toxic political brand, his growing horde of political enemies in his own party, and the knock-on effects on his fundraising operation.

Basically, it’s a dumpster fire, and Republicans are all but making s’mores.

“Platner should stay in and fight the liberal lobbyist establishment!” one strategist jokingly told Inner Loop. Like others interviewed for this story, they spoke candidly on the condition of anonymity.

Funding is also going to be a problem, operatives noted with glee. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or DSCC, has announced that it will not bankroll Platner’s campaign, should he stay in the race.

The operatives are thrilled by this: As a result, Platner would have to rely on small-dollar donors. Despite his fervent fan base, these donations would almost certainly not cover the tens of millions of dollars that both sides are expecting to have to pour into TV ads closer to the midterms. (The Boston-area media market is among the top 10 most expensive in the country, and Mainers do watch TV.)

But Trump operatives also think even if Platner does step aside, the Senate race in Maine firmly tilts in Collins’ favor.

Democrats have until July 13 for Platner to drop out, and a July 27 deadline for a special election to replace Platner’s name on the ballot. Democratic operatives in the state tell Inner Loop this could happen the weekend of July 25, but Trumpworld doesn’t think the alternative candidates would pose a major challenge.

Janet Mills, the governor of Maine who dropped out of the Democratic Senate primary, is seen as one option. But Mills has a similar profile to Collins, who the operatives still think would edge out a victory, especially given her performance bucking Joe Biden in 2020.

Another option is Troy Jackson, a former Maine state senator. But another longtime GOP strategist was skeptical whether voters would look past the baggage accompanying any Democratic candidate following the Platner saga.

“At the end of the day, Democrats have to run a perfect race to beat Collins, which they have not done. She’s still the least offensive candidate of the Senate Republican conference, and so the strongest candidate we could have in the race,” one longtime GOP strategist says.

Still, Trumpworld and the Republicans’ Senate campaign arm expect a bruising fight in the Maine Senate race that could cost them hundreds of millions of dollars. And while they believe Collins can win, it could end up being tight. Get the graham crackers.

Samsung has announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked launch event will be held on July 22nd, with the tagline: “A new shape unfolds.”

It’s long been rumored that Samsung is about to expand its foldable phone line to a third format, with a shorter and wider version of its big book-style foldables, to match Huawei’s Pura X Max and Apple’s expected foldable iPhone. Today’s announcement adds to that impression, showing a tall ticket with the stub torn off, leaving it shorter than before.

Alongside the wider foldable, Samsung is expected to announce updated versions of its existing Flip and Fold phones, with the latter potentially rebranded to the Z Fold 8 Ultra to differentiate it from the new form factor. New Galaxy Watches are likely too, with potential updates to both the mainline Galaxy Watch and the more premium Ultra model.

Galaxy Unpacked will be held in London, UK, kicking off at 9am ET on July 22nd.

It’s long been rumored that Samsung is about to expand its foldable phone line to a third format, with a shorter and wider version of its big book-style foldables, to match Huawei’s Pura X Max and Apple’s expected foldable iPhone. Today’s announcement adds to that impression, showing a tall ticket with the stub torn off, leaving it shorter than before.

Alongside the wider foldable, Samsung is expected to announce updated versions of its existing Flip and Fold phones, with the latter potentially rebranded to the Z Fold 8 Ultra to differentiate it from the new form factor. New Galaxy Watches are likely too, with potential updates to both the mainline Galaxy Watch and the more premium Ultra model.
