Forbes: Stablecoin technology has matured, but compliance and localized infrastructure are the real bottlenecks for mass adoption
According to ChainCatcher, Forbes reports that although stablecoin trading volumes have exceeded $10 trillion over the past year, most activity remains concentrated in crypto-native sectors such as trading, arbitrage, and settlement between protocols, with limited application in everyday commercial payments. WasabiCard CEO Ray Yang pointed out that the transfer of funds itself is no longer the core issue; licenses, compliance, risk management, and banking capabilities are now the key foundations for achieving large-scale adoption. Forbes notes that while stablecoin settlements can significantly improve cross-border payment efficiency, each market has different compliance standards, licensing requirements, and banking relationships. Building localized compliance on a market-by-market basis is both slow and costly, creating a contradiction with the instant global settlement that stablecoins promote. The current stablecoin market now exceeds $320 billion, and industry discussion is shifting from whether stablecoins can replace existing networks to how they can be integrated into them. Forbes believes that the problem of the last decade was moving money, while the challenge of this decade is ensuring global payments can operate compliantly and at scale in a fragmented regulatory environment.
