Happy Thursday, advisors!
In today’s newsletter, Prashant Kher of EY-Parthenon on what new survey data shows about where stablecoins are gaining ground, and what will decide which payment rails scale Then, in “Ask an Expert,” Sam Boboev of Fintech WrapUp on whether euro stablecoins can challenge the dollar’s lead, and who is best placed to win on distribution
Happy reading. Stablecoins are going mainstream A year ago, the stablecoin debate centered on whether regulatory clarity and a compelling combination of speed, cost and liquidity benefits would drive meaningful adoption. The evidence now points to a market moving decisively from experimentation toward implementation.
EY-Parthenon’s 2026 Blockchain Payments Survey of 521 corporate and financial institution decision-makers found that 18% of corporates have used stablecoins in production, double the share reported in our 2025 survey. Tokenized deposits are close behind, with 15% of corporates reporting adoption. Financial institutions are also making firm commitments.
