Data: BNB Chain's Small Stablecoin Transactions Account for 82%, Handling 40% of Global Transaction Volume

Odaily News CZ reposted a Forbes article on X, which disclosed data showing that BNB Chain handles approximately 40% of the global stablecoin transaction volume. Among these, 82% of the transaction amounts are below $1,000, highlighting the chain's widespread application in micropayments and among retail users.

The article also points out that stablecoins are quietly becoming a parallel currency in emerging markets. Over 99.9% of stablecoin transactions are denominated in US dollars, providing convenience for economies with scarce banking infrastructure and volatile local currencies. In 2025, small stablecoin transactions (below $10,000) grew by approximately 10 times, from 316 million to 3.2 billion transactions, with the majority coming from emerging markets. On BNB Chain and Polygon, the cost per transaction is less than $0.05, which is lower than the bus fare to a bank.
