JPMorgan’s analysis indicates that the rapid growth in stablecoin transaction volume may not necessarily lead to a corresponding expansion in the market’s overall size, due to increased velocity. As stablecoins see greater adoption in payment scenarios, the same units of funds are used more frequently, improving overall efficiency while reducing demand for additional stablecoin supply. The bank maintains a cautious outlook, forecasting that the total stablecoin market capitalization will reach approximately $500 billion to $600 billion by 2028, and considers expectations of a trillion-dollar market to be overly optimistic.

Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson has proposed PACT (Provable Address Control Timestamping), a framework designed to protect long-dormant Bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s early addresses, from future quantum attacks. The mechanism proves control over an address through a timestamp without requiring asset transfers or exposing on-chain activity. If a quantum attack occurs, the assets can be recovered on a quantum-resistant network based on this proof. Compared with the mandatory migration proposal BIP-361, PACT avoids the privacy exposure caused by proactive transfers, providing long-term holders with a more flexible form of advance protection.
