- Stablecoin on-chain transaction volume has reached $7 trillion, surpassing the U.S. ACH payment network and highlighting the growing scale of blockchain-based payments.
- A major supplier in Amazon Japan's network will begin accepting the yen-backed stablecoin JPYC, expanding real-world stablecoin use in commercial payments.

Stablecoin On-Chain Volume Reaches $7 Trillion, Surpassing ACH
According to Forbes, stablecoin transaction volume processed on public blockchains has climbed to approximately $7 trillion, exceeding the annual transaction volume handled by the U.S. Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. The milestone underscores how blockchain-based payment systems are rapidly scaling beyond their origins in digital asset markets and becoming a meaningful part of global financial infrastructure.
The achievement reflects growing institutional participation, expanding payment use cases, and increasing demand for faster settlement across borders. While ACH remains deeply embedded within the U.S. banking system, stablecoins offer near real-time settlement, programmability, and global accessibility. As more businesses adopt blockchain-based payments, stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important alternative for moving value around the world.
Amazon Japan Supplier Adopts Yen Stablecoin JPYC for Payments
Maruwa, a supplier within Amazon Japan's ecosystem, has announced plans to adopt the yen-backed stablecoin JPYC for certain payment operations. The move represents another step toward integrating stablecoins into everyday commercial activity, allowing businesses to benefit from faster settlement and more efficient payment processing.
The adoption also highlights growing interest in local currency stablecoins beyond U.S. dollar-denominated assets. As countries develop domestic digital currency ecosystems, stablecoins pegged to national currencies may play an increasingly important role in enterprise payments, supply chain transactions, and cross-border commerce. Japan continues to position itself as one of the leading markets for regulated stablecoin innovation.
Solana's Stablecoin Ecosystem Expands Beyond USDC and USDT
New market data shows that Solana has reached a record level of stablecoin supply outside of the two dominant issuers, USDC and USDT. The growth reflects increasing adoption of alternative stablecoins across decentralized finance, payments, and tokenized financial applications built on the network.
A more diversified stablecoin ecosystem strengthens the resilience and flexibility of blockchain-based financial infrastructure. As additional issuers enter the market and developers build new payment and financial products, users gain more options for settlement, liquidity, and capital management. Solana's continued expansion demonstrates how blockchain networks are evolving into comprehensive financial ecosystems rather than relying on only a handful of digital dollar issuers.
