🇺🇸 STABLECOIN PAYMENTS DOUBLE TO $10B/MONTH AFTER TRUMP SIGNS CRYPTO LAW
Businesses and consumers are ditching traditional banks for stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar), moving over $10 billion monthly through them as of August.
That's up from $6 billion in February and double what it was last August.
The surge followed Trump signing the Genius Act in July, which created federal regulations for stablecoin issuers and requires them to back tokens with liquid assets like Treasury bills.
At the current pace, stablecoin payments could hit $122 billion annually.
Business-to-business transfers dominate at $6.4 billion monthly, up 113% since February.
Companies are fed up with routing payments through multiple banks and waiting days for international transfers.
With stablecoins, a $250,000 payment moves instantly.
Even Zelle, the bank-owned payment service, just announced it will use stablecoins for international transfers.
Turns out crypto isn't so scary when it works better than legacy systems.

$160,000,000,000 STABLE & PUMPING THROUGH ETHEREUM’S VEINS
Stablecoins on Ethereum just ripped past $160 Billion.
That’s not “crypto hype” money. That’s real-world liquidity sloshing around on-chain.
Perspective check:
That’s bigger than most banks.
Bigger than the GDP of Hungary.
Bigger than the lame excuses you made for not buying ETH at $200.
This isn’t meme coins or get-rich-quick tokens.
Stablecoins are the plumbing of the new internet economy. Dollars without the bank branch.
Global payments without the wire fees.
And Ethereum? It’s not just alive - it’s basically the liquidity superhighway.
Every USDT swap, every USDC remittance, every DeFi yield farm is another gallon of fuel in a system that just won’t stop flooding.
The old world has vaults and ledgers. The new one? Smart contracts and stable billions moving at the speed of code.
$160B is just the milestone. The takeover? Already in motion.
