Stablecoins have become an increasingly popular topic in 2025, both for conversations among finance professionals and Banker articles. The growing popularity of the asset class, which attempts to maintain a stable value by being pegged to an external asset, has evolved from the preserve of crypto-heads to the edges of the financial mainstream in a very short time.

Stablecoins aim to maintain a stable value by pegging to an external asset, a principle that has attracted heightened attention from regulators and market participants alike.

Industry stakeholders expect steady progress as regulatory clarity grows.
