Kevin Lehtiniitty in DL News: Stablecoins Hit Record $283 Billion — Analysts Eye Path to $2 Trillion

Dollar-pegged stablecoins have surged to a new high of approximately $283 billion in issuance as the digital-asset world edges deeper into real-world finance. Analysts are now projecting a potential trajectory toward a $2 trillion market by 2029, suggesting stablecoins may be moving out of the crypto fringe and into the mainstream financial plumbing.

For his part, Kevin Lehtiniitty - CEO of Borderlesss - sees this milestone less as a speculative frenzy and more as proof-point of stablecoins’ growing utility in cross-border payments, corporate treasuries and on-chain liquidity. Lehtiniitty believes the real question is no longer if, but where and how stablecoins will gain traction — pointing to the importance of corridor-specific flows, regulatory clarity and infrastructure readiness.
