Solana's co-founders recently stated that the stablecoin market size is expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2026. This prediction reflects the ongoing expansion of the DeFi ecosystem—stablecoins, as cross-chain settlement and liquidity hubs, are accelerating their market penetration. Based on the current market volume, achieving this growth target means that the annual growth rate of stablecoins over the next two years needs to remain high. The core drivers supporting this growth include: multi-chain deployment of DeFi applications, increased institutional stablecoin demand, and the gradual maturity of on-chain payment scenarios. If the prediction comes true, the stablecoin ecosystem will further solidify its position within Web3 infrastructure.

10 trillion? Haha, by then stablecoins still might not be stable. --- Institutional entry is indeed a highlight, but the real test is in the implementation of payments. --- Doubling in two years... this prediction is too bold, and as usual, it will be proven wrong by reality. --- I am optimistic about multi-chain deployment in DeFi; stablecoins are indeed the glue that holds different chains together. --- Once again, it's a 2026 vision. Right now, I just want to know if we can reach 30 billion this year. --- Basically, it's still a liquidity issue. More stablecoins also mean higher risks. --- If it really materializes, I would believe in Solana, but... haha. --- When will the payment scenarios mature? We've been hearing this for two years.

1 trillion? Haha, stop joking. First, stabilize the current market before bragging. --- Listening to the 2026 figures is fine, but everyone knows the reality. --- Stablecoins are infrastructure, no doubt, but this growth rate forecast is a bit outrageous. --- Will institutions really enter the market so quickly? I still see them on the sidelines. --- Expanding DeFi across multiple chains is a good thing, as long as we’re not hacked so frequently again. --- On-chain payments are mature? Most people are still trading coins. What are they thinking? --- Stablecoins are indeed a necessity, but the 1 trillion target feels like just a pie in the sky. --- The co-founder of Solana has always had this kind of prediction; I’ve learned not to believe it anymore. --- If it were to rise like that, Ethereum would be crying to death, haha. --- Sounds nice, but then there will be all kinds of reasons explaining why the goals weren’t achieved.
