Stablecoins could spark a payments revolution, key outlook for 2026

Stablecoins are expected to become a core part of the global financial system by 2026, with growing use as a payment method in decentralised finance and traditional finance, a report said. Experts also forecast integration into global payment networks and a larger share of cross-border transactions.
