US firms are warming up to stablecoins at a pace we haven’t seen before. Interest jumped from 8% in 2024 to 29% this year among 100 executives at Fortune 500 companies. That’s more than three times the level of a year ago.
And small ones aren’t far behind. A fresh look at the numbers shows stablecoins are moving from fringe tech talk into boardroom discussions.
Almost half—46%—expect to use crypto in the next three years. And more than 82% think crypto can tackle at least one real cost or cash-flow issue for their business. Whether it’s cutting payment fees or speeding up cross-border transfers, smaller outfits see solid reasons to experiment.
Crypto flows are already huge. Organic stablecoin transfers hit $719 billion in December 2024 and $717 billion in April 2025—the two highest months on record so far.
Even big names are taking notes. At a Bloomberg Tech Summit on June 5, Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the ridesharing giant is in a study phase for stablecoin payments.
The goal is simple: lower costs when moving money around the globe. And on May 14, Fireblocks reported that 90% of institutional players they surveyed are exploring stablecoin use in some part of their operations. That could mean anything from instant remittances to more efficient payroll in countries where banks are slow or expensive.
