There is zero denying it, stablecoins are arguably the most successful crypto use case to date. In 2025 alone, stablecoin transaction volume hit $33 trillion, rivalling Visa and Mastercard combined. The total market cap grew 49% in a single year, from $205 billion to over $300 billion. And Coinbase's institutional outlook forecasts the stablecoin market could reach $1.2 trillion by the end of 2028. This is cross-border payments, institutional settlement, treasury management, and remittances, real financial activity running on new rails. Most people still think stablecoins are a crypto thing. They're not. They're a payments infrastructure thing.

Agreed: x402 is one of the most underrated infra play in crypto rn • 161M+ transactions processed • $43.51M total volume • On Base: 123.7M txs, $36.72M, 398K buyers • On Solana: 37.4M txs, $6.78M, 16K buyers • @stripe launched x402 on @base With the Agentic Economy rising this year, AI agents need two things to operate autonomously: payments and trust. x402 solves payments: APIs can now charge agents directly. Agent requests access → server responds with price + wallet → agent pays in USDC → instant access. ERC-8004 solves trust. x402 handles the payment rails. ERC-8004 handles who to trust. Together, they create a closed-loop economy where machines pay machines based on verifiable reputation.
