According to Stripe's survey, 57% of independent workers expressed a desire for stablecoin payments. Currently, 18% of independent workers in emerging markets are receiving payments in stablecoins. The Federal Reserve analyzed that the market capitalization of stablecoins reached $317 billion as of April 2026.
