STABLECOINS ARE THE TROJAN HORSE OF CRYPTO

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Stablecoin transactions hit $6.8T in Q1 2025 as platforms like Stripe launch native support and issue their own, signaling a shift toward mainstream adoption. With crypto wallets enabling direct stablecoin payments at checkout, stablecoins are becoming a default payment rail for global eCommerce. While Ethereum benefits from this growth, the stablecoin model diverges from Bitcoin's original vision of decentralized, intermediary-free payments.
