The Inevitable Rise of Stablecoins: $260 Billion and Growing

The stablecoin market just hit a total value of $260B, as of early August 2025, representing 91% of the total tokenised RWA market.

These are clearly all-time highs; however, this rate of growth ($120B to $260B in less than 18 months) is not surprising, even though it is unprecedented in traditional finance. Why? Because stablecoins are solving problems that traditional finance has been struggling with since time immemorial.

Nevertheless, I argue that this is just the beginning.
