Analysis

APAC accounts for 51.2% of identified stablecoin payment volume, establishing the region as the dominant hub while usage shifts from trading into regulated payments, treasury and settlement. Compliance-first stablecoins including Ripple’s $RLUSD are gaining traction in these markets as institutions demand clearer regulatory alignment. The shift positions APAC stablecoin adoption as a live test bed for cross-border flows that prioritize oversight over pure speculation.
