Surprisingly to some, the list of use cases for stablecoins has exploded during a market downturn, further engendering their use to fintechs, payment companies, institutional banks and investment firms. Many of these market participants are either already utilizing stablecoins in everyday finance or are exploring ways to do so.
In our guide, "The Rise of Stablecoins and the Future of Finance," we show how the steep rise in stablecoin use inspires other market participants and how digitizing stable assets will ultimately unlock the potential of global financial markets.
The guide provides the context of stablecoins' accelerating acceptance, noting key points in their rise, such as:
