Visa study signals potential 1.2 billion-person APAC stablecoin adoption wave by 2031

Visa study signals potential 1.2 billion-person APAC stablecoin adoption wave by 2031

Summary

A Visa survey of 14,250 people found that 46% of respondents across Asia-Pacific are likely to use stablecoins within five years, while 16% have used them in the past year. Nearly half expect stablecoins to become common for cross-border transfers. Understanding remains limited: just 6% correctly understood how stablecoins work, and fraud concerns were a leading barrier to use. Visa is expanding its stablecoin settlement network as payments firms compete to develop everyday and cross-border payment services in the region.
