Moody's 2026 Outlook: Stablecoins Will Become Market's Core Infrastructure, Evolving Into "Digital Cash"

BlockBeats News, January 7th: Credit rating giant Moody's pointed out in its 2026 outlook that stablecoins will become the market's core infrastructure. According to industry estimates for on-chain transactions (rather than purely interbank transactions), stablecoin settlement volume is expected to increase by around 87% in 2025 compared to 2024, reaching $90 trillion. Fiat-backed stablecoins and tokenized deposits are evolving into "digital cash," used for liquidity management, collateral transfers, and settlement in an increasingly tokenized financial system.
