#数字资产市场动态 Still only watching Bitcoin's candlestick charts? Maybe you're really falling behind the trend.

Recently, a set of data has been particularly eye-catching — the total market cap of stablecoins has surged 70% in a year, now surpassing $310 billion. This is not a small wave, but a quiet restructuring of the entire crypto financial system.

Many people see this number and still think it's just a small thing in the crypto world. Actually, it's the other way around. Behind these $310 billion, traditional financial institutions like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are aggressively promoting stablecoin infrastructure. Their goal is not to gamble on Bitcoin reaching $100,000, nor is it about "crypto prosperity." They are targeting trillion-dollar markets such as global remittances, cross-border payments, and corporate settlements. For them, stablecoins are the next-generation payment rail.

Meanwhile, retail investors are still flocking to discuss which small coins could multiply a hundredfold.

This is the current divide. When mainstream financial institutions start to need stablecoins for infrastructure, and traditional media begin to report on this track, the game rules have already changed. It used to be a retail speculation era — those with boldness and good information made money. Now it has shifted to an institutional infrastructure era — what’s needed are ecological positioning and long-term logic.

Industry insiders estimate that in the next five years, the market cap of stablecoins could surge to $2 trillion. This is not just a number. It means that wages, mortgages, consumption, trade settlements... these most everyday financial activities could all happen within the stablecoin ecosystem.

Looking at your own asset allocation: if you only hold highly volatile altcoins and have no exposure to stablecoin ecosystems and related assets, it’s like still raising horses in the high-speed rail era. No matter how hard you try, you can’t keep up with the big trend.

Wealth doesn’t flow to those who work hard in silence, but to those who understand the direction.
