Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of the crypto asset management company Bitwise, said that experiments by major technology platforms with payments using stable cryptocurrencies could drive strong growth in this sector. According to Hougan, thanks to such initiatives, the total market value of stablecoins could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. This represents a significant increase compared with the current market capitalization of about $302 billion. Hougan emphasized that for digital platforms—especially those operating on a global scale—it is extremely important to start paying content creators and freelancers in the form of stablecoins. For example, DoorDash, in collaboration with Stripe, is testing stablecoin-based payment systems for nearly 10 million couriers across more than 40 countries. Similarly, Meta offers content creators the option to pay for orders with stablecoins through the Solana and Polygon networks in the Philippines and Colombia.
