Wait, Stablecoins Did WHAT?!

from The Web3 Quick Bites Hosted by Olabisi Adelaja

Stablecoins just beat the US banking payment system in monthly transaction volume. Not crypto Twitter hype — actual numbers. $7.2 trillion in a single month. Visa is live in 18 countries with stablecoin-linked cards. The Federal Reserve is writing papers about it. And yet most people still think stablecoins are just a "parking spot" between crypto trades. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening with stablecoins in 2026 — what they are, why this year is different, who's building on them, and what the real-world use cases look like right now. From cross-border payments to B2B payroll to yield-bearing digital dollars — this is bigger than most people realise. I also give you the honest side — the challenges, the concentration risks, and why consumer adoption is still lagging in developed markets. No hype. Just clarity. What we cover: — What stablecoins actually are (quick level-set) — The numbers that prove this moment is real — Why the GENIUS Act changed everything for institutions — Real-world use cases growing fastest right now — The honest challenges nobody talks about If you've been vaguely aware of stablecoins but never quite understood why everyone's suddenly paying attention — this episode is for you.
