As the CRCL has a blockbuster IPO, the true size of the stablecoins market remains mystery.

Recently there was a blockbuster initial public offer, and it was set to open US trading week Monday at more than $ 107 -a wonderful rally at the price opening of $ 69.

The number of stablecoins in the circulation-the market cap of the asset category-is a well-known fact. The release can be seen on-chain after all, and that number is at $ 254 billion, According to coingecko data.

But thinking of the amount of stablecoins used in payments is a little trickier.

In a recent thread on xNic Carter, Castle Island Ventures partner and Blockchain Data Aggregator Coinmetrics, Cofounder, that -parsed by available data and found that there is a huge difference -different in numbers.

Estimating the real part of StableCoin transactions driven by payments rather than trading is complicated due to challenges such as MEV bot interruption, duplicative on-chain transactions, and SPAM activity designed to concentrate on the metrics.

Recent studies describe this uncertainty. A top-down heuristic from Visa and Allium estimates Stablecoin transaction volumes to approximately $ 9 trillion annually to May 2025. However, this figure widely covers trading, defi activity, and repairs-non-concentrated payment.

In contrast, more detailed under-up studies offer narrower but clearer views. Fireblocks, a major preserving provider, reported annual -verified StableCoin payments of nearly $ 232 billion, compared to a significantly larger $ 2.12 trillion in trading volumes to its clients, suggesting that real payment transactions represent nearly 10% of their total stablecoin activity.

Similarly, a targeted joint study of Artemis and Dragonfly samples of 20 Stablecoin-focused payments directly.

It calculates a conservative annual payment volume of approximately $ 72.3 billion, recognizing it as a may undercount given limited sampling.

Compared to the $ 72.3 billion figure at the high end, Carter wrote, $ 232 billion, emphasizing the huge uncertainty around how wide stablecoins that are truly used as a payment mechanism.

As for the circle, the Stablecoin issuer does not provide a figure to the IPO to file on how much the USDC uses for payments, which only points to the overall volume of the transaction.
