The stablecoin narrative is reshaping faster than most realize. Last year we watched it unfold across multiple blockchains—this year? It's going to get way more complex and compelling.

Stable assets aren't just sitting in wallets anymore. They're becoming the backbone of global payment infrastructure, and the numbers back it up. With total supply approaching $300B, we're watching real adoption curve, not speculation.

Major payment networks are taking notice. This shift from speculation-driven markets to utility-focused infrastructure is the real story. The chains that crack payments and cross-chain settlement elegantly will capture disproportionate value. It's less about hype cycles and more about who can actually deliver transaction fluidity at scale.

ngl the $300B number feels inevitable in hindsight... watched the mempool patterns shift like three months ago, the fee arbitrage screams were already there if you knew where to look

This wave of stablecoins is really about to take off. A $300B supply is no joke. You need to manage your positions carefully, and private key security comes first.

This wave of stablecoins is really about to rise, not just hype anymore.

This wave of stablecoins is truly different, finally transforming from hype into real infrastructure.

This wave of stablecoins has indeed shifted from speculation to infrastructure, with a $300B scale indicating that the adoption curve is real. The key is to see who can make cross-chain settlement sufficiently smooth—that's where the ROI lies.

The wave of stablecoins has indeed become intense, with a supply of 300B not a joke... But it's easy to regret not knowing earlier; last year I was still betting on liquidity mining. Loan rates skyrocketed, directly hitting liquidation prices. Looking at others' infrastructure layouts now, I can only do post-mortem analysis like a armchair strategist. The real competition is probably still ahead—who can make cross-chain settlement smooth and efficient will win... I'll just watch and wait, no more all-in. Payment infrastructure is definitely the trend, but where exactly are the risk points in the liquidation mechanisms? Has anyone studied this? Once again, I got caught in a wave of liquidation. This time I learned my lesson—risk control points must be set in advance, or else it will end in heavy losses.
