Stablecoins Moved More Money Than the US Financial System’s Backbone
Summary
Stablecoin transaction volume hit a significant milestone in February 2026, reaching $7.2 trillion and overtaking the US Automated Clearing House (ACH) network's $6.8 trillion. This growth continued into March, with stablecoin market capitalization reaching a record $316.7 billion. While automated trading bots account for a large portion of this volume, the data indicates an increasing real-world utility for stablecoins in cross-border and business-to-business payments, positioning them as a foundational global financial infrastructure.
