"Stablecoins" are gradually evolving from a niche tool into the backbone of global payments. Analysts at Chainalysis suggest that within the next decade, the volume of stablecoin transactions could reach $1.5 quadrillion. The great wealth transfer is here, and it’s bringing crypto with it. Between 2028 and 2048, an estimated $100 trillion will likely move to younger, crypto-native generations. Our latest blog explores how stablecoin payment volumes are on pace to match Visa and Mastercard by the…— Chainalysis (@chainalysis) April 8, 2026 Even the basic scenario anticipates an adjusted growth to $719 trillion. However, the influx of merchants and demographic shifts could significantly accelerate this trend. Projected stablecoin transaction volume (up to 2035). Source: Chainalysis. Two Main Catalysts In 2025, stablecoins facilitated around $28 trillion in "real economic activity" — experts deliberately excluded exchange trading volume, focusing only on direct payments and transfers. Analysts expect this metric to grow significantly by 2035, driven by two structural factors: Generational Shift. Between 2028 and 2048, millennials and Gen Z are set to inherit up to $100 trillion. These demographic groups are much more rational in terms of storing and using digital assets. Widespread Distribution. The integration of stablecoins into merchant payment solutions will make their use almost invisible to consumers. Paying with cryptocurrency will cease to be a complex process and become a routine operation. An additional driver in this direction could be commerce based on the AI agent ecosystem. Together, these trends will allow "stablecoins" to match the transaction volumes of Visa and Mastercard between 2031 and 2039. With accelerated technology adoption, parity could be achieved even sooner. Millennials and Gen Z as drivers of stablecoin mass adoption. Source: Chainalysis. Integration and Regulatory Stance Changes are already noticeable: major financial players have begun adapting their strategies to stablecoins. Stripe's acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard's purchase of BVNK indicate that "stablecoins" are becoming part of the core financial infrastructure. Standard Chartered has also reported a leading growth in stablecoin usage due to new application scenarios. According to the bank's estimates, the sector could generate demand for up to $1 trillion in US Treasury bonds, directly linking the payments industry with global capital flows. Meanwhile, regulators continue to examine potential risks. A recent White House study found no substantial evidence of stablecoins negatively impacting bank lending. The document effectively dispelled concerns about a possible deposit outflow amid the development of a regulatory framework. Many experts view the current trend not as a threat to the traditional financial system, but as a convergence. As noted by Patrick Witt, a cryptocurrency advisor to US President Donald Trump, "stablecoins" could channel additional funds into the US banking sector rather than withdraw them. The ultimate impact on the market will depend on the issuance structure and the quality of issuers' reserves.As reported, the prediction platform Polymarket announced a major infrastructure update and the launch of its own stablecoin.

The largest cryptocurrency ATM operator, Bitcoin Depot, has disclosed a theft of $3.7 million from its corporate wallets. This was revealed in a document filed with the SEC on April 8. On March 23, an intruder gained unauthorized access to the company's IT systems and took control of its cryptocurrency accounts. The perpetrator subsequently withdrew 50.9 BTC (approximately $3.66 million). “Upon discovering the breach, the firm promptly initiated response protocols, engaged external cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement,” the statement said. Bitcoin Depot assured that the attack did not affect clients or their personal information. The investigation, involving external specialists, is ongoing. Insurance may cover part of the loss, but “there is no guarantee that it will be sufficient to cover all losses,” company representatives emphasized. Regulatory Challenges The breach occurred amid increased regulatory pressure and operational difficulties. In March, Connecticut authorities suspended Bitcoin Depot's money transmission license. The regulatory body found that the operator exceeded the state's 15% fee cap on 1,015 transactions, resulting in 510 customers overpaying approximately $150,426. Bitcoin ATM shutdowns are also ongoing in the U.S. Mass closures began in March 2025 after Illinois State Senator Dick Durbin proposed a bill to combat ATM fraud. Since the start of 2026, 666 such devices have ceased operations in the country. Source: Coin ATM Radar. Financial Performance Bitcoin Depot reported a net profit of $4.7 million for 2025, compared to $7.8 million in the previous reporting period. The company expects a 30-40% decline in revenue from its core business this year due to regulatory requirements in certain states and stricter compliance standards. “While our anti-fraud measures have effectively reduced consumer fraud cases and protected clients, we expect these efforts to result in significantly lower revenue than in previous years,” the firm noted. On April 8, Bitcoin Depot's shares rose by 15.6%, closing at $2.74. However, over the past six months, the stock has fallen by 88%. Source: Yahoo Finance. Back in November 2025, the bitcoin ATM operator Crypto Dispensers announced the sale of its business for $100 million. The decision was prompted by the criminal prosecution of the company's CEO.

OpenAI has unveiled a plan aimed at strengthening child safety systems amid the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence and misuse of technology. The initiative focuses on three key priorities: modernizing legislation to address child exploitation and abuse created and altered through AI; improving reporting and coordination among service providers to support more effective investigations; integrating safety measures directly into AI systems at the design stage to prevent and detect misuse. “The issue cannot be solved through isolated interventions. This concept combines legal, operational, and technical approaches for more effective risk identification, faster response, and accountability, while ensuring opportunities for law enforcement,” OpenAI noted. According to company representatives, these steps will enable the industry to address safety issues at earlier stages. The plan takes into account feedback from several leading American organizations and experts in child protection, including the NCMEC and prosecutors from various jurisdictions. “Child sexual exploitation is one of the most pressing issues of the digital age. Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing both the ways such crimes emerge in the industry and the methods to combat them nationwide,” the company emphasized. Since mid-2025, OpenAI has been taking steps in this direction. The startup has already implemented parental control measures that monitor and alert to dangerous signals in a child's behavior. The company has also introduced new service usage rules that prohibit the exploitation of children's images. In September, the FTC initiated investigations into seven tech firms producing chatbots for minors, including Alphabet, Character.AI, Instagram, Meta, OpenAI, Snap, and xAI.
