Digital asset infrastructure is only as good as its ability to handle growth without breaking. As global finance looks to onchain solutions to drive greater efficiency and enable new use cases, digital asset transaction volumes surged (and will continue to grow exponentially), and the platforms that couldn’t keep up got left behind. Last year, Fireblocks processed 300% more stablecoin transfers than the year before. We achieved 100 transactions per second; then immediately shifted focus to going further.
We see speed and reliability as foundational requirements to onchain finance, not features. Architectural improvements like Solana’s throughput, batching tools for operations like sweeping, and algorithm optimization for faster signing mean transactions now process 5x faster than before—even as volumes continue to climb. Whether you’re moving $10M or $10B, running one wallet or a million wallets, we’ve ensured the platform always handles the load without compromise. Stablecoins received a lot of attention as a faster payments rail, and yes the adoption is real.
In 2025, Fireblocks processed over $200B in stablecoin transactions every month, a 300% year-over-year increase. Crypto-native businesses use them for settlement and payouts, trading companies are using them for margin payments and traditional payment companies are moving from legacy rails to blockchain rails. Stablecoins also cemented their role as programmable financial primitives. Customers like Kast and Rain issued crypto cards, leveraging smart contracts to move millions of transactions every month.
