On February 24, payment giant Stripe stated that stablecoins are becoming a core component of the global payment infrastructure, no longer tied to cryptocurrency price fluctuations. By 2025, even if Bitcoin prices decline, stablecoin payment transaction volume is expected to double, mainly due to its increasing practical use in commercial transactions. However, current blockchains may struggle to keep up with this growth, Stripe warned, as future systems may need to process millions to billions of transactions per second with the expansion of automation and AI-driven business.
