ARK Invest Report: Stablecoin Transactions Reach $15.60 trillion in 2024, Overtaking Visa and MasterCard
ARK Invest said in its "Big Ideas 2025" report that stablecoins are one of the fastest growing sectors in the digital asset space, and despite a two-year bear market and a market cap decline of more than 70%, the growth momentum of stablecoins remains unaffected.
In 2024, the transaction volume reaches 15.60 trillion US dollars, which is about 119% and 200% of the transaction volume of Visa and MasterCard, respectively. The number of monthly transactions of stablecoins reached 110 million, which is only 0.41% and 0.72% of the transactions processed by Visa and MasterCard. In other words, the single transaction amount of stablecoins is much higher than that of Visa and MasterCard.
