About $243 billion in stablecoins are <a href="https://www.galaxy.com/insights/research/genius-act-stablecoin-regulation/#:~:text=At%20the%20time%20of%20writing,than%20120m%20transactions%20every%20month." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">currently in circulation</a>, with growing interest in using them for real-world payments.
Collison emphasized that stablecoins could eliminate costly and slow cross-border fees.&nbsp;
“A lot of our future payment volume is going to be in stablecoins,” he said, adding that Stripe views them as a central part of its business moving forward.
