The stablecoin ecosystem is really taking off now. Coinbase has made payments and settlements into a foundational capability, meaning that future financial operations will be seamlessly embedded, and payments will become an invisible infrastructure. The collaboration between Kalshi and BSC is even more impressive—directly using BNB and stablecoins to participate in prediction trading, without the complex cross-chain bridging operations. The trading liquidity remains the most active across the entire network.

Looking at Velo's introduction of USD1, a regulated USD stablecoin integrated into the ecosystem, this is building a true payment and settlement layer. In simple terms, stablecoins have shifted from being a niche in the crypto circle to becoming a fundamental financial infrastructure, with application scenarios rapidly exploding.

This pace is quite aggressive. Capital is reconstructing the crypto internet, and the speed of payment ecosystem integration is exceeding expectations. Those who started positioning themselves in these ecosystems early on are now seeing that their vision was truly correct. Once this wave of applications truly unfolds, the usage of stablecoins will grow exponentially. The opportunity to enter now might be even more critical than you think 🚀
