HOW STABLECOIN ADOPTION WILL PUMP YOUR BAGS 💰

We get it. Stablecoins are boring.

(Sure, they’re an important tool – but they don’t move in price, therefore they can’t make us all rich. As a result: boring.)

Ok, now… lemme flip that concept on its head real quick.

Last week we covered this chart:

It highlights how stablecoins are no longer just being used as a means for buying non-stable crypto assets, but are quickly being adopted as a real payment method.

And friend of the Milk Road Show, Jamie Coutts just wrote a thread on how this is ushering in a structural shift within crypto:

There’s more to the Tweet — and you should go read it — but in the meantime…

Here’s the basic gist:

Typically, crypto relies on increases in global liquidity for prices to go up.

When global liquidity (aka: fresh cash floating around the global financial system) increases thanks to things like rate cuts (which lower our loan/credit repayments, giving us all more disposable income)…

Some of that disposable income is spent on crypto (raising prices).

And it often follows this route: users take their fiat cash → buy stablecoins → and swap them into their chosen non-stable crypto token.

If they want to take profits and spend that crypto? They convert their investments back into stablecoins → before moving them into fiat cash via their bank (exiting crypto entirely).

But what if they didn’t have to move into fiat cash to spend their earnings?

What if stables became accepted enough that investors could just keep their earnings in stablecoins?

(Paying a friend? Send stables. Getting an agent to shop for you online? Give it stables. Buying a coffee? Stables.)

The chart at the top of the article suggests this shift is already happening.

Plus the recent spike in adoption of Coinbase’s x402 AI agent payment protocol is only bound to further things:

All of this will lead to less money moving out of the crypto ecosystem, and lower the sector’s reliance on policy-driven liquidity pumps to float prices.

“Ok, sure, more money staying in crypto sounds cool, but stablecoins are stable. I want price appreciation baby!”

First things first: Hell yeah, brother!

Second: Stablecoins being adopted as a form of payment will help to do just that.

See, every onchain transaction requires fees to be paid in the underlying blockchain’s native token.

(E.g. Sending 20 $USDC to a friend on Solana? You’ll need to pay the transaction fees in $SOL.)

So, more use cases for stables = less money being moved out of crypto + more demand for native tokens in order to pay fees.

And when demand increases for supply-restricted assets → number go up.

Now… stablecoins are currently the largest tokenized real-world asset (RWA) – but they’re not the only game in town.

Head to the next article to learn about how other RWAs are promising to drive even more future demand.

ACTIVE YIELD: AUTOMATED

If you’ve ever dabbled in active yield strategies, you’ll know how much grunt work they often require.

…but what if you could outsource that active management?

EarnPark’s marketplace of strategies helps you take your yield strategies from ‘active’ to ‘passive’ – within a few clicks.

Here’s how it works:

You select your preferred risk-adjust strategies (e.g. Bonds, Algo Trends, DeFi)
EarnPark automates their execution
You get daily or monthly payouts

Yuh. It’s that simple!

THE RWA MARKET IS SET TO 30X. HERE’S WHICH CHAIN WILL BENEFIT MOST 🤫

We’ve been saying it since April – the crypto IPO era is upon us.

The latest company to mount the starting block? Securitize and their smutty ticker: $SECZ.

Sick! But, er, what do they do?

Securitize is in the business of making real-world assets tradable onchain (aka: tokenization).

As we mentioned in the last article – stablecoins rule the roost when it comes to RWA tokenization, but they’re just the beginning of what’s to come.

The big push right now is to tokenize everything – stocks, bonds, real estate, collectibles – if it has monetary value, it’s getting tokenized.

The benefit being: tokenization makes each RWA globally tradable (attracting more investment), lowers the cost per trade compared to traditional market rails, and lets assets move at lightning speed.

More assets tradable onchain = more trading = more demand for the underlying blockchain’s native token (again: to pay fees).

But you already knew that. What we want to do here is set some context on future projected growth.

Right now, the ENTIRE market of tokenized RWAs sits at ~$600B (or, in big-dog investor terms: $0.6T).

Ok, not bad.

Now… check out the projected growth of this sector over the next 8 years:

Yuh. The $0.6T asset class that is only just now starting to come into its own and have positive downstream effects on the broader crypto ecosystem is set to more than 30x!

And the chain of choice for most RWAs right now?

Ethereum.

(And we expect it to largely stay that way).
