Forbes contributor and researcher Boaz Sobrado observed that stablecoins have “subtly emerged as alternative currencies in many developing nations,” with more than 99.9% of transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. BNB Chain serves as a major conduit for these payment flows.
Stablecoin transaction volume in Latin America expanded ninefold from 2021 to 2024, reaching approximately $27 billion. BNB Chain represents a significant component of this payment infrastructure.
Aggregate stablecoin transaction volume reached approximately $33 trillion during 2025, reflecting year-over-year growth exceeding 70%. This volume now approaches or exceeds the combined transaction throughput of traditional payment networks Visa and Mastercard.
ETF Applications and Growing Institutional Attention
Asset managers Grayscale and VanEck have filed applications with U.S. regulators seeking approval for spot BNB exchange-traded funds. Regulatory approval would create new channels for institutional capital allocation into the asset.
The growth lead for BNB Chain characterized their primary user demographic as “micro and retail,” emphasizing everyday consumers over professional traders. Data shows more than half of emerging-market cryptocurrency users began their journey through Binance or OKX platforms.
