One of the biggest driving factors of 2025 was the regulatory certainty in the US. Legal risk associated with the adoption of stablecoins in business by the companies became less dangerous with emerging legislation identifying the terms of reserve support, disclosure, and regulation by the issuing companies.
In this transformation, institutional involvement became broader. Big banks, payment providers and MNCs began considering or experimenting with systems based on stablecoins to settle and transfer within their organization. Not only the retailers, but also the technology companies took a look at stablecoins as a possible way of lowering costs and speeding up payment and in particular international trade.
This climate proved to be most advantageous to USDC within most institutions. Its regulatory position, freedom of reserves and closeness to the US compliance model made it receptive to firms that highly value legal predictability and richness of liquidity.
