Standard Chartered Extends Stablecoin Market Forecast to 2030 Amid Supply Growth Slowdown

According to The Block, Standard Chartered Bank has extended its forecast for the global stablecoin market from 2028 to 2030 due to supply growth stagnating this year. The bank’s updated projection reflects a change in timing rather than size of the overall estimate.

The adjustment concerns only the projected timeframe for when the $2 trillion market figure is expected to be reached, not the amount itself. Standard Chartered cited ongoing slowdown in new stablecoin supply issuance as the primary factor influencing the revised outlook. No further details on methodology or interim projections were provided.
