<p>The rise of stablecoins is not limited to DeFi platforms. They also play <strong>a central role in international payments</strong> and daily transactions.</p> 
<p>Visa reports that about <strong>$3.3 trillion in stablecoins</strong> are exchanged each month, underscoring their growing importance in the global economy.</p> 
<p>Stablecoins offer <strong>a convenient and secure solution</strong> to bypass traditional banking systems, facilitating cross-border payments and wages.</p> 
<p>Moreover, the <strong>regulatory clarity in several jurisdictions</strong> strengthens confidence in these digital assets. However, challenges remain, particularly in governance, operational resilience, and legal compliance.</p> 
<p>The future policy of the United States on stablecoins will be crucial for their continued adoption and their impact on global financial stability.</p> 
<p>The rise of stablecoins is radically transforming the crypto sector. What will be their future role in the global economy?</p>
