The global stablecoin market has surged to a record $300 billion, marking a 46.8% year-to-date growth a milestone analysts call “rocket fuel” for the next crypto bull run. Experts suggest this massive liquidity signals stronger investor participation and deeper integration of crypto into traditional finance.
According to report, the stablecoin boom comes at the start of October historically a strong month for Bitcoin (BTC) fueling optimism for an “Uptober” rally. Analysts note that stablecoins are no longer idle capital; they’re being actively used to settle trades, fund positions, and enable global payments, particularly in markets like Nigeria, Turkey, and Argentina, where they serve as “de facto dollars.”
Industry experts highlight that stablecoins are becoming vital in remittances, merchant transactions, and institutional settlements, with financial giants like Visa already integrating them into their systems. The minting of $8 billion USDC on Solana last month further reflects the rapid expansion of on-chain liquidity.
