Stablecoin settlement volumes have expanded sharply this year, climbing 70% from $6 billion in February to more than $10 billion by August 2025.
A report from Artemis suggests that digital dollars are finally trading their flashy crypto casino chips for actual loaves of bread in the real world. Business-to-business transfers? The new black, apparently.
B2B Transactions Power Stablecoins Payment Growth
Artemis’ figures reveal corporate stablecoin usage now gobbles up nearly two-thirds of total payments. Because nothing says “trust” like letting algorithms handle your payroll. 🤖
Monthly B2B volume has more than doubled since February, rising 113% to about $6.4 billion. Cumulative value since 2023? Over $136 billion. On-chain money is no longer a niche tool-it’s just… money. With a blockchain-shaped patina. 🏦
Consumer channels are following suit, because why let the corporations have all the fun? Card-based crypto payments? Up 36%. B2C transactions? 32%. Prefunding? A sprightly 61% jump. Clearly, merchants love instant liquidity… or they’re just terrified of running out of coffee. ☕
David Alexander of Anagram claims these numbers prove on-chain liquidity is becoming spendable cash. For context: crypto card payments now process $1.5 billion monthly, up 50% this year. Let that sink in. Or don’t-liquidity is supposed to be liquid, after all. 💼
Users now earn yields on idle assets via DeFi protocols and spend them in real time. It’s like a modern-day Robin Hood, but instead of stealing from the rich, it steals from your savings account’s boredom. 🎩
“Stablecoins began as peer-to-peer transfers-a faster, cheaper way to send money,” Alexander mused. “But now, they’ve evolved into programmable capital: assets that live on-chain, earn yield, and function as direct equivalents to traditional payment instruments.” In other words, your money now has a personality. And it’s very busy. 🚀
Tron’s Market Share Shrinks as Tether Consolidates Power
Tron, once the king of stablecoin settlements, now trails at 48% market share. Newer networks like Base, Codex, Plasma, and Solana are eating its lunch. A sad tale of hubris, perhaps? Or just a reminder that no one likes a slow blockchain. 🐢
Omar Kanji of Dragonfly calls this a “structural rotation.” Translation: Tron’s party is over, and everyone’s invited to the next one. Meanwhile, Tether’s USDT dominates 79% of payment volume, thanks to its unmatched accessibility across Africa and Latin America. The 800-pound gorilla of stablecoins, but with better PR. 🐒
USDC’s share quietly rose from 14% to 21% since February. Together, USDT ($183 billion) and USDC ($76 billion) form a $300-billion digital dollar empire. It’s the future of finance-or at least the future of finance that still includes humans making terrible decisions. 🌍
