Stablecoin utilization refers to the various applications and widespread use of stablecoins in digital asset markets and broader commerce. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency or other assets. Their use extends to facilitating fast international payments, providing liquidity in decentralized finance, and acting as a stable store of value within volatile crypto markets. This widespread application is growing steadily across financial systems.
Context

Debates persist about whether stablecoins should be regulated as payment instruments, securities, or bank deposits. Future regulatory clarity and robust audit standards are crucial for sustained growth and mainstream acceptance of stablecoins in global financial systems.
Institutional investors are significantly increasing their exposure to digital assets, signaling a firm belief in crypto's enduring value and a shift towards mainstream portfolio integration.
