Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong presented data on the rise of stablecoin transactions, comparing them with traditional players like Visa.

Rapid Growth of Stablecoin Transaction Volumes

The transaction volume of stablecoins has surged since mid-2016. While Visa's transaction volumes have stayed relatively stable, stablecoins show a steady rise in popularity and usability, indicating increasing influence of cryptocurrencies in the financial world.

Bitcoin and PayPal Transaction Volumes

The graph highlights fluctuations in Bitcoin’s annual transaction volume, which has generally increased since 2013. Despite a decline in 2021, Bitcoin’s current volume is comparable to PayPal, recognizing cryptocurrencies as payment tools beyond mere investments.

Comparison with Traditional Systems

The graph also features annual transaction volumes from traditional systems like Fedwire and ACH. These systems still have significantly higher volumes than stablecoins and Bitcoin, though the gap is gradually narrowing.

The rise in transactions for stablecoins and Bitcoin points to significant shifts in the financial ecosystem, potentially impacting the future landscape of financial transactions.
