Citigroup predicts that the scale of stablecoins may reach $4 trillion in 2030, but bank token trading volume may surpass it

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Citigroup raised its 2030 global stablecoin issuance forecast to $1.9 trillion in its baseline scenario, and up to $4 trillion in a bull market scenario, corresponding to an annual transaction volume of $200 trillion. The report also noted that driven by businesses' demand for regulatory safeguards, the transaction volume of bank tokens (such as tokenized deposits) may surpass stablecoins, potentially exceeding $100 trillion by 2030. Citigroup believes that stablecoins, bank tokens, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will coexist in the long term, jointly driving the reshaping of financial infrastructure. (CoinDesk)
