(3) Summary

Between May 25 and June 1, 2026, the stablecoin market exhibited characteristics of “growth in scale, real-world adoption, and accelerated compliance.” The global stablecoin market capitalization surpassed approximately $320 billion, with continued capital concentration in USD-pegged stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. On-chain activity and transaction volumes remained relatively stable, while cross-chain and payment use cases continued to expand—evidenced by implementations such as Cash App, Meta’s creator payments, and settlement networks integrating Visa and Stripe—reflecting a market transition from “crypto trading tools” toward “global payment infrastructure and digital dollar foundations.” Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks—including the U.S. GENIUS Act and Europe’s MiCA—advanced rapidly, shifting market focus from speculation and scale toward regulatory licensing, reserve transparency, and payment network integration. It is anticipated that capital will increasingly migrate toward emerging stablecoin assets backed by strong regulatory endorsement, sovereign collaboration, and real-world payment applications.
