According to a report from Cointelegraph, Moody's latest cross-industry outlook report indicates that stablecoins are transitioning from native crypto tools to core institutional market infrastructure. The report released on Monday shows that stablecoin settlement volume in 2025 increased by approximately 87% from the previous year, reaching around $9 trillion. Moody's views fiat-backed stablecoins and tokenized deposits as 'digital cash' increasingly used in tokenized financial systems for liquidity management, collateral transfers, and settlements. By 2025, banks, asset management companies, and market infrastructure providers are launching blockchain settlement networks, tokenization platforms, and digital custody pilots to simplify issuance, post-trade processes, and intraday liquidity management. Moody's emphasizes the importance of security, interoperability, and clear governance and regulatory clarity for stablecoins to become reliable institutional settlement assets rather than a new source of systemic fragility.
