Stablecoin Supply Could Reach $4 Trillion by 2030, Says Bitwise CIO

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicts that the stablecoin supply could surge to $4 trillion by 2030, up from approximately $300 billion today. According to NS3.AI, Hougan highlighted recent tests by major tech companies as a potential catalyst for this growth. He referenced DoorDash's collaboration with Stripe to pilot stablecoin payouts for 10 million Dashers across more than 40 countries, as well as Meta's initiative to roll out creator payouts in the Philippines and Colombia. Hougan emphasized that the primary benefit of these developments is the operational simplicity they offer for global micropayments, beyond just reducing settlement costs. Data from The Block indicates that the stablecoin supply has already exceeded $302 billion.
