Stablecoins settled $6.6T in payments in just five months. This is more bullish for me than the $300B market cap number because the pile size doesn't mean anything if it's not used actively. Velocity is the equation we use to see how much they're being used. It measures how many times the average tokenized dollar changes hands in a year. Per @Visa and @AlliumLabs's filtered data, it just hit a record 49.7x. What's driving it? Real-world payments. Remittances and business transfers are now the fastest-growing slice of volume, while exchange activity shrinks to a sliver. Every other time this number jumped, we were in an active bull run. Real usage doesn't need a bull market. It never did.
