"Stablecoins are becoming the payment infrastructure. USDT on TRON is proving this on a large scale every day." @Justin Sun孙宇晨 23.06.2026.
The CEO of the Tron network's statement reflects the current reality of the crypto market.
Below is a text reproduced from the @Gustavo Bertolucci Oficial published on the portal www.livecoins.com.br.
"Stablecoins are no longer just a niche tool within the crypto ecosystem; they are becoming a fundamental financial infrastructure.
Currently, they facilitate everyday payments, international remittances, and cross-border corporate transactions in both emerging and developed economies.
Latin America hosts some of the most advanced use cases: in 2025, the region processed over USD 730 billion in cryptocurrency transactions, of which USD 324 billion — an 89% increase from the previous year — went through stablecoins.
In Brazil, over 90% of cryptoasset flows involve stablecoins, while in Argentina, where inflation exceeded 200% in recent periods, they represent more than 60% of the total cryptocurrency volume.
The main driving force behind this adoption is not speculation, but necessity. In Argentina, stablecoins function as a mechanism for accessing the US dollar and protecting savings.
In Central America and Bolivia, they are transforming remittance corridors: compared to an average transfer cost of 6% through traditional channels, transfers with stablecoins can cost less than 1% and be settled almost instantly.
The scale of demand is significant — according to industry data, seven out of ten people in Latin America are already using stablecoins for international transfers, driven by frustration with bank fees and currency devaluation.
Only the corridor between the United States and Mexico processes around USD 6.5 billion annually in stablecoin-based remittances through platforms like Bitso, representing approximately 10% of the total flow on that route.
Use cases have gone far beyond remittances: companies across the region are adopting stablecoins for payroll, dollar-denominated savings products, and credit lines backed by stablecoins.
At the institutional level, the ability of stablecoins to operate 24/7 with virtually instant settlement — compared to the T+1 and T+2 cycles of the conventional banking system — is positioning this asset as an increasingly attractive instrument for corporations, brokers, and asset managers that need to move capital in real time.
This transformation occurs in a context of rapid fintech growth: Latin America already hosts over 3,000 fintech companies and more than 20 unicorns, with a projected compound annual growth rate of approximately 27% between 2022 and 2028.
This distribution infrastructure is already ready to incorporate financial rails based on stablecoins.
What sets this cycle apart from the previous one is institutionalization. Stablecoins are being adopted by banks, fintechs, and corporations that require regulatory clarity, qualified custody, and auditability.
Solutions like Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) allow financial institutions to integrate custody, compliance, and digital asset management capabilities directly into their products via API, without needing to build the entire regulatory infrastructure from scratch.
In 2026, The Better Money Company — a startup specializing in stablecoin settlement — chose BitGo's Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) infrastructure to develop its multi-issuer settlement platform.
As the company itself stated, stablecoins are on track to become the standard method of financial movement between businesses, but this future depends on a connection infrastructure as robust as the assets themselves.
“We believe that stablecoins are no longer competing with the financial system; they are being integrated into it. What is happening in Latin America is especially significant: adoption is not driven by speculation, but by necessity.
Payments arriving in seconds, remittances costing a fraction of traditional alternatives, and access to a stable reference asset in high inflation environments.
The infrastructure that supports this use case needs to be institutional from the start,” explains Luis Ayala, General Director for Latin America at BitGo.
Regulatory advancements reinforce this trend. Brazil began classifying transactions with stablecoins as currency exchange operations starting in 2026.
In the United States, the GENIUS Act — enacted on July 18, 2025 — establishes that payment stablecoins issued by authorized issuers may be eligible to serve as margin and cash collateral or equivalents in regulated derivatives markets; stablecoins not issued by authorized issuers would not qualify.
In the European Union, the MiCA regulation is already in effect. The global direction is consistent: net reserves, segregated assets, and independently verifiable backing.
BitGo, whose national trust bank received full and unconditional approval from the OCC in December 2025 to operate as a federally regulated trust bank, exemplifies this standard.
“This approval establishes a new benchmark for transparency, security, and regulatory clarity in the digital financial services ecosystem,” concluded Ayala.
BitGo's strategy in Latin America is structured around three pillars: enabling local institutions through CaaS, integrating stablecoins into treasury and corporate settlement operations, and exploring the development of stablecoins denominated in local currencies or regional assets for specific payment corridors.
For participants in the financial industry, the question is no longer whether stablecoins will reach their sector, but which supporting infrastructure will be ready when that happens.
The question that remains is:
-Given the current scenario, why isn't the @Justin Sun孙宇晨 looking to establish BTTC as a complementary layer of efficiency for this essential infrastructure of connectivity and scalability for stablecoin traffic, especially since the Tron network leads the global volume of USDT transactions?
