The Rise of Stablecoins:From Crypto Instruments to Global Financial Infrastructure
During a key panel discussion titled “Stablecoin – The Most Viable Use Case for Crypto Adoption,” Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, was a featured panelist.
Alec highlighted the rapid evolution of stablecoins, noting their market capitalization has surged to over $250 billion — an impressive 60% increase this year. Driven by growing regulatory clarity in countries like the U.S. and active participation from traditional institutions, stablecoins are transcending their role as crypto-native tools to become core components of global financial infrastructure. This marks the early stages of their mainstream adoption. He further explained that in key sectors like on-chain credit, Real World Assets (RWA), and cross-border trade, stablecoins serve as the fundamental layer for value settlement and liquidity within digital financial infrastructure.
“The future isn’t a binary choice between centralized and decentralized systems, but a blend of compliance and composability,” Alec said. “Legal frameworks and on-chain technology will evolve together, enabling global scalability while preserving crypto’s core principles. Ultimately, whether a system is centralized or decentralized matters less than its ability to meet user needs. If decentralized transactions continue to deliver greater value, the market will naturally gravitate toward them.
