Fireblocks, a leading enterprise digital asset infrastructure provider, reveals that 90% of financial firms are actively engaged with stablecoins. According to their recent research and the State of Stablecoins Report, stablecoins have evolved beyond experimental assets to become foundational components of financial infrastructure, particularly in speeding transactions and enabling new revenue opportunities for institutions.
Industry Engagement and Impact: Nearly 300 financial institution executives participated in the survey, signaling substantial momentum toward stablecoin integration. Stablecoins now represent about 50% of Fireblocks' transaction volume, reaching approximately $40 billion per quarter. This high volume reflects their crucial role in enhancing liquidity and accelerating cross-border B2B payments.
Ran Goldi, Senior VP at Fireblocks, noted that stablecoins have shifted from being just efficiency tools to strategic enablers of business innovation and growth. The expansion of stablecoin use is bolstered by the removal of various legal obstacles and an institutional focus on scalability and security.
Strategic Implications: Stablecoins are increasingly integrated into global payment systems, reshaping financial structures and encouraging major payments enterprises to adopt them to maintain competitiveness. Boards recognize stablecoins as essential for accessing new client markets and aligning with the emerging digital asset ecosystem. Despite ongoing regulatory and technological challenges, institutional adoption continues to rise, which is likely to influence future regulatory frameworks and drive further market evolution.
The report emphasizes that stablecoins are now a key lever for growth and financial innovation, moving well beyond simple cost savings to become central components in institutional finance and digital asset strategies in 2025.
