What to know:
- JPMorgan said stablecoin supply is up about $100 billion this year to roughly $308 billion, led by USDT and USDC.
- The bank's analysts expect steady growth into 2028, but well below the most bullish projections.
- Trading demand still dominates, and payments adoption may lift stablecoin velocity more than supply, the report said.
Wall Street bank JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) said the stablecoin supply could reach $500 billion to $600 billion by 2028, far short of the most bullish $2 trillion to $4 trillion calls.
Stablecoin demand is still primarily a crypto-market story, not a payments story, according to the largest U.S. bank by assets.

JPMorgan noted that the stablecoin market has grown about $100 billion this year to roughly $308 billion, led by Tether’s USDT and Circle’s (CRCL) USDC.
Demand is still driven mainly by crypto trading and collateral needs across derivatives and decentralized finance (DeFi), with derivatives venues adding about $20 billion in stablecoin holdings alongside a surge in perpetual futures activity, the report said.
"The vast majority of stablecoin demand stems from their use as cash or collateral in the crypto ecosystem to facilitate crypto trading including derivatives trading, DeFi lending and borrowing," wrote analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, in the Wednesday report.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to assets such as fiat currencies or gold, but most often the U.S. dollar. They underpin much of the crypto economy, serving as payment rails and a tool for moving money across borders.
The analysts said payments are a smaller driver today but could grow as more providers test stablecoin-based rails for cross-border transfers.
Still, the report said wider payment use doesn’t automatically require a much larger stablecoin float because velocity, how quickly tokens circulate, can rise as integration deepens.
Banks and payment networks are also moving to protect their role in institutional flows through tokenized deposits and other blockchain initiatives, while Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) efforts could offer regulated alternatives that compete with private stablecoins, the report added.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto
The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement     Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly. Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet. Advertisement   Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
