Stablecoins Are Spreading Faster Than Any Fintech in History—Thanks to Ethereum
- Stablecoins have surged past $260 billion, enabling over 4 billion people to hold and move USD on-chain without banks, outpacing any traditional fintech rail.
-
Ethereum now settles more than $140 billion in stablecoins and $60 billion in DeFi assets, offering global accessibility, institutional-grade security, and censorship resistance.
- A powerful flywheel spins as minted stablecoins bolster DeFi collateral, driving ETH demand and staking, tightening supply, and attracting institutional capital, cementing Ethereum as the new financial backbone.
No real competitor has matched Ethereum’s blend of programmability, decentralization, and developer momentum. Bitcoin lacks smart‐contract functionality, while other smart‐contract platforms struggle to rival Ethereum’s security pedigree. Meanwhile, banks and payment networks remain fragmented by local laws and legacy infrastructure.
As Maria Shen from Electric Capital wisely stated,
“Stablecoins are spreading the dollar faster than any financial tech in history. Ethereum is becoming the financial backbone.” With programmable money finally coming of age, Ethereum stands poised to redefine how value moves around the globe.
