JPMorgan has projected that yield-bearing stablecoins could increase their market share from 6% to 50%. This shift is seen as validation for companies like Defactor, which are developing infrastructure for real-world assets (RWAs) in decentralized finance (DeFi). The stablecoin market has recently reached a record market capitalization of $234.6 billion as of March 27, 2025, reflecting a rise of $30.9 billion, or 15%, since the beginning of the year. Over 60% of this capital is concentrated on the Ethereum network and its layer-2 solutions. Analysts suggest that stablecoins will continue to grow in dominance, enabling new consumer applications and democratizing access to dollar-denominated yields globally. Recent reports indicate that there are over $208 billion in stablecoins in circulation, with a year-over-year growth rate of 45% and over $4 trillion in transactions facilitated.

We have officially entered the Stablecoin 2.0 Era where value accrual will be barbell-shaped. One end is Distribution and the other end is next-gen stablecoin infra (APIs, purpose-built payment chains, zkTLS-enabled primitives).
DeFi is growing up—and that means the infrastructure itself is evolving. Stablecoins aren’t just for payments. They’re aiming to unlock institutional liquidity and global access. Let’s talk about the new era of stablecoins—and what’s launching on Avalanche. 🧵👇 https://t.co/4WrDub2sGE
