Stablecoins continue solidifying their role as one of the most practical crypto products. Their price stability shields users from the volatility typical in other digital assets, making them a preferred choice for traders and a gateway to the US dollar in emerging markets.

Market predictions suggest that the stablecoin market could grow to $400 billion by 2025, presenting substantial profit opportunities that have attracted new entrants like Ripple and BitGo.
