\n\u201cWe\u2019re in a stablecoin adoption upswell that\u2019s likely to increase dramatically this year,\u201d Pakman said during Cointelegraph\u2019s Chainreaction live show on X on March 27. \u201cWe could go from $225 billion stablecoins to $1 trillion just this calendar year.\u201d
\nHe noted that such growth, while modest compared to global financial markets, would represent a \u201cmeaningfully significant\u201d shift for blockchain-based finance.
\nPakman also suggested that the rise in capital flowing onchain, combined with growing interest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), could further support decentralized finance (DeFi) activity:
\n\u201cIf we have a moment this year where ETFs are permitted to provide staking rewards or yield to holders, that unlocks really meaningful uplift in DeFi activity, broadly defined.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a significant decrease in the size of each stablecoin transaction, which points to the fact that they are being used more as payments and less for large transfers.\u201d
