Stablecoins and tokenized assets are experiencing explosive growth. Paxos's total asset market capitalization has surged from $1.2 billion to $6.8 billion over the past 12 months, an increase of over 450%. Behind this are two main pillars: first, the PYUSD stablecoin launched by PayPal has performed remarkably well, contributing more than half of the growth momentum, with a current market cap of $3.6 billion, demonstrating the strong potential of traditional payment giants entering Web3; second, the PAXG tokenized gold product also holds its own, with a market cap increasing to $1.8 billion, reflecting investors' continued interest in on-chain precious metal assets. Behind these figures is the deep integration of physical assets on the chain and stablecoin application scenarios within the crypto ecosystem.

PayPal has jumped in too, stablecoins are really about to take off... A 450% increase is a bit scary, it seems like others will be lining up to follow suit later.

The data indeed looks impressive, but objectively speaking, how much of the 3.6 billion PYUSD are real transactions? The lessons from history are clear. Ironically, every bubble cycle starts this way.
I'm not trying to criticize, but do you all remember how the last project that was this hyped up turned out?
Interestingly, some people have been touting the idea of tokenizing precious metals for a long time [cold laugh].
PayPal's entry sounds impressive, but does it really hold up logically in business terms? I suggest everyone make a bet and see who’s still talking about this story in half a year.
A 450% growth rate... why should we believe it can continue? We all understand market irrationality, but the people who get caught in the trap think the same way.

The entry of PayPal has truly changed the game, and a 450% increase indicates that everyone has finally realized the value of stablecoins.

PayPal's entry is a signal; traditional financial giants are getting uneasy. The next cycle's stablecoins will be the true infrastructure.
