TechFlow news, January 5 — According to Bitcoin.com News, Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya predicted that stablecoin adoption will surge in 2025, becoming a key instrument for large-scale transactions. He noted that in 2024, stablecoin usage had already decoupled from cryptocurrency trading, settling $8.5 trillion across over 1.1 billion transactions—more than double Visa's transaction volume. Palihapitiya believes this growth will challenge the duopoly of Visa and Mastercard, especially amid rising credit card interest rates. He also addressed regulatory concerns, emphasizing that blockchain technology provides transparency and traceability for transactions.
Last year, he predicted that Bitcoin would achieve mainstream adoption in 2024.
