#稳定币 Recently, an interesting phenomenon has been observed: stablecoins seem to be gaining popularity? 😲 JPMorgan Chase predicts that by 2028, the market capitalization of stablecoins could reach $500-600 billion. That number sounds huge! And this year alone, it has already grown by $100 billion, with USDT and USDC contributing over $80 billion. No wonder everyone is talking about stablecoins.

The most interesting part is that JPMorgan has even deployed its JPM Coin on Base. Does this indicate that even traditional major institutions are optimistic about this direction? The CEO of Circle also said that stablecoins will see an "explosion" in 2026, which indeed makes people a bit excited 💭

But I still don't quite understand. What exactly makes stablecoins stable? Is it because they are pegged to the US dollar? And since most of this growth is driven by institutions, how can small retail investors utilize stablecoins? Is it just for trading pairs, collateral, or something else? Can experienced users explain this to me? I feel that understanding this might help me better plan my trading strategies.
