📢 Announcing the Stablecoin Practitioner’s Guide
A New Era for Stablecoins Has Arrived
Stablecoins have quietly become the most used product in crypto — not just to facilitate speculation, but for their practical utility. They power onchain commerce, cross-border remittances, institutional settlement, and increasingly, the infrastructure layer of payments.
Yet for all their relevance, the conversation around stablecoins has often lacked detail, objectivity, and real-world insight.
That changes today.
We’re excited to release Stablecoins: The Practitioner’s Guide, a comprehensive report written by and for the people building the future of stablecoin infrastructure. This is not another hype-filled whitepaper or a 30,000-foot VC memo. This is a granular, practical, and sharply observed breakdown of what stablecoins really are — and where they’re going.

Why This Report Matters Now
Over the past 12 months, three events have signaled a new chapter for stablecoins:
- Tether generated over $13 billion in profit with fewer than 200 employees.
- Stripe acquired Bridge, a stablecoin payments company, for $1.1 billion.
- The U.S. political and regulatory landscape has shifted toward active engagement and clarity.
These moves — across enterprise, infrastructure, and policy — indicate that stablecoins are no longer speculative crypto assets. They are the foundation for programmable money and global value transfer.
But the complexity of the ecosystem has grown with its importance. Practitioners face a flood of conflicting advice, shifting standards, and evolving use cases. Our guide cuts through the noise.

What’s Inside
This isn’t a generic market update. The guide covers:
- The true utility function of stablecoins — why “trade, earn, and pay” will matter more than brand
- Why capital efficiency and redemption mechanisms define success
- The emerging architecture of stablecoin infrastructure, including embedded wallets, cross-chain protocols, and compliance tooling
- How regulatory regimes like MiCA and the GENIUS Act are reshaping global strategy
- A forward-looking view into the “Great Rebundling” of financial services, with stablecoins as programmable primitives
It also includes first-person insights and foundational commentary from contributors who helped invent the industry’s core primitives — including the creators of USDT, DAI, and several of today’s fastest-growing stablecoin issuers and orchestrators.
