Paybis’ internal data show stablecoins grew from 36% of total crypto volume in 2023 to 86% in April 2026, a near‑tripling of their share in just three years【1】. The jump is powered by enterprises: B2B‑originated stablecoin transactions rose from 36% of the stablecoin mix in 2023 to 70.1% in 2024, 96.9% in 2025, and almost all (97.8%) in the first four months of 2026【1】. The platform processed $2.81 B in stablecoins in May, a 135% increase over the same period in 2025, reflecting a 7.2‑fold annual rise in 2025 alone【1】.
The bulk of B2B stablecoin activity clusters in five sectors that together account for 78.4% of volume: Digital Goods (21.4%), Virtual‑Assets Business (15.8%), Technology (15.1%), Retail & E‑commerce (14.5%) and FinTech (11.6%)【1】. Survey responses reveal a perception gap: while 53% of firms expect instant settlement, 47% anticipate delays of up to a day, and fee expectations are split between 0.01% and 3%—despite typical stablecoin fees staying below 1%【1】.
Non‑USD stablecoins have also crossed a $2 B circulating‑supply milestone, driven by euro, Brazilian real and Turkish lira pegs, suggesting that enterprise demand for local‑currency digital assets is rising globally【2】. This parallel growth reinforces Paybis’ observation that stablecoins are moving from a niche crypto product to a mainstream settlement layer for cross‑border treasury and payments.
The data suggest that stablecoins are now a core component of corporate payment infrastructure, with enterprises driving the majority of volume and seeking faster, cheaper cross‑border settlement. Whether this momentum translates into broader adoption beyond Paybis will depend on how quickly firms close the speed‑and‑cost perception gap and how regulators shape the underlying infrastructure.
