Stablecoins are quietly transforming the global payment landscape. Last year, trading volume of stablecoins on the Revolut platform surged by 156%, surpassing the $10.5 billion mark. What does this figure reflect?

According to crypto researcher Alex Obchakevich, the proportion of stablecoins in Revolut's total payments nearly doubled, reaching 0.583%. Although the percentage may seem small, the growth momentum is indeed remarkable. He cited data from Dune Analytics indicating that, while the absolute share remains relatively small, this growth trend is noteworthy.

Even more interesting is the institutional forecast for the future. Bloomberg Intelligence recently made a bold prediction — by 2030, stablecoin payment flows will grow at a compound annual rate of 81%, ultimately reaching a scale of $56.6 trillion. The driving force behind this is the continued increase in retail adoption.

Revolut itself is also ramping up in this sector. In October, they launched a new feature allowing users to directly exchange USD for USDC or Tether stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio, with no commissions or hidden fees. This move further reinforces their strategic positioning in the stablecoin space.
