Stablecoin Volume Through Q4 2024

Looking at the current trajectory, I'd give it about a 60% chance we see stablecoin payment volume for fintechs and merchants break past the $XYZ 78.96 level by year-end. The recent $JPY fluctuation, despite being fiat, highlights the ongoing volatility that drives some towards crypto alternatives, and the push for faster, cheaper settlement options isn't slowing. If regulatory clarity emerges for stablecoin on-ramps in key markets, that probability jumps higher, but right now the slow pace there is the main drag.
