Market Trends?
Institutional adoption has taken significant strides, especially stablecoins. While ETFs have been a focus point in 2024, the past months have shown a shift toward stablecoins as the medium for institutional engagement. Ripple launched RLUSD and Binance launched USUAL in December, PayPal introduced PYUSD in October, and VISA unveiled plans to integrate USDC on Solana. These developments indicate stablecoins are moving into practical application.
Another notable trend is the emergence of stablecoins backed by real-world assets over the last six months, each catering to distinct niches.
