Standard Chartered revises its stablecoin market forecast to $2 trillion by 2030, pushing the timeline back two years as current supply stalls near $309 billion.
DeFi & Yields ·
Standard Chartered has revised its stablecoin market forecast, now projecting the market will reach $2 trillion by 2030 rather than its previous timeline. The shift reflects a two-year delay in the bank's expectations as current growth momentum has faltered.
The stablecoin market has remained relatively flat, with total supply currently hovering near $309 billion. This stagnation in supply expansion contrasts with earlier momentum in the sector and underpins Standard Chartered's more cautious outlook for medium-term scaling. The bank's report suggests that achieving the $2 trillion milestone will take longer than previously anticipated.
The revised forecast leaves open questions about what factors may reignite supply growth and whether the sector can sustain the trajectory Standard Chartered projects even at the delayed timeline. The reasons for the current supply stall and the bank's specific assumptions underlying its 2030 target remain to be detailed.
