Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, predicts that stablecoin adoption will skyrocket in 2025 as a key tool for wholesale transactions. He notes that by 2024, stablecoin usage will decouple from cryptocurrency transactions, with more than 1.10 billion transactions settled at $8.50 trillion, more than twice the volume of Visa transactions. Palihapitiya believes this growth will challenge the Visa-Mastercard duopoly, especially as credit card interest rates rise. He also touched on regulatory issues, stressing that blockchain technology provides transparency and traceability for transactions. Last year, he predicted mainstream adoption of bitcoin by 2024.
