Crypto is quietly reshaping the global payment system—and most people aren’t watching.

Stablecoins already process $7.2T in monthly volume, outpacing both ACH and Visa. Projections? Up to $1.5 quadrillion by 2035.
According to Chainalysis, on-chain payments could rival giants like Visa and Mastercard within the next decade.
For context:
• Visa: ~$13T annually
• Mastercard: ~$9T annually
• Combined: ~$22T
Stablecoins are on a path to dwarf it.
The takeaway: this isn’t evolution—it’s a rebuild. And it’s already underway.
