BNY projects a $3.6 trillion stablecoin market, contingent upon regulatory clarity and institutional cooperation
- BNY Mellon forecasts $3.6T stablecoin/tokenized cash market by 2030, driven by institutional adoption and regulatory progress. - EU MiCA and U.S. GENIUS Act (2025) mandate 100% reserve backing, fostering institutional confidence through clear compliance standards. - JPMorgan's JPMD stablecoin and USDsui's yield-focused model exemplify institutional blockchain integration for faster payments and liquidity. - Regulatory fragmentation and UK-style reserve caps could hinder growth, while permissioned chains

As BNY’s Carolyn Weinberg remarked, this pivotal moment could reshape global capital markets—but only if blockchain and traditional finance advance together, as CoinDesk highlighted.
