Stablecoins, which currently settle approximately $100 billion in daily transactions, could triple this figure by 2025, exceeding $300 billion daily. With their adoption in global trade, remittances and large payment networks, they would be positioned as an essential option for fast and economical transfers.

Prominent projects like Pudgy Penguins, which have evolved into consumer brands, and Miladys, with cultural relevance, exemplify how strong communities continue. adding value to the NFT market.
