Citi analysts disclosed that stablecoins are the ChatGPT moment for the institutional adoption of blockchain. Akin to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, the report tips stablecoins to record a high growth in valuation in the coming years. While Citi analysts have forecasted a $1. 9 trillion base case for the asset class, the report predicted that stablecoins can climb to $4 trillion by the end of 2030 in its bull case scenario. The global stablecoin market capitalization sits at $307 billion, rising from $200 billion at the start of 2025. Citi is pinning its prediction on the 58% growth notched by stablecoins in 2025 alone, with analysts forecasting that the trend will continue until the end of the decade.

S.-based financial institutions planning their stablecoin rollouts. Citi noted that the flurry of announcements stemmed from fresh regulatory support in the U. S., which was highlighted by the signing of the GENIUS Act by U. S. President Donald Trump.
