Verda Ventures partner Alex Witt stated that although global stablecoin transaction volumes have exceeded $28 trillion in 2025, surpassing the combined total of Visa and Mastercard, stablecoin startups and venture capital remain primarily concentrated in the US and Europe, while real demand mainly comes from emerging markets. He noted that Nigeria has over 26 million crypto users, stablecoin trading accounts for more than half of exchange trading volume in Argentina, and stablecoin capital flows in Latin America have reached the equivalent of 7.7% of the region's GDP. Alex Witt believes that future stablecoin growth opportunities will come more from emerging markets such as Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, rather than from European and American markets.

The geographic bias of VCs is a tired cliché—it's 2025 and they're still investing in San Francisco.

The real demand in Latin America and Africa is severely underestimated, yet capital is still circling around Silicon Valley.

The 7.7% GDP share is too exaggerated; stablecoins have become a necessary payment tool in these countries.
