VISA just dropped a study across 14 APAC markets (14,250 people surveyed):
46% say they'll likely use stablecoins within 5 years
Only 16% used them in the past 12 months
That's a 3x jump in intent. Normies are waking up.
Trust breakdown:
27% trust government/central bank-linked stablecoin issuers most
26% trust banks and regulated financial institutions
Translation: retail wants the rails, but they want daddy government's stamp on it. CBDCs and regulated stablecoins are coming whether maxis like it or not.
This is bullish for $USDC $USDT and any compliant stablecoin infrastructure plays. The floodgates are opening in Asia.
