THE FUTURE OFMONEYIS HEREAND IT’S ONLYJUSTBEGUN 6RWA.xyz INTRODUCTION 16 years after the launch of bitcoin – and with it, the modern blockchain –it is safe to say that the future of money is here. Claimed ownership ofcrypto is more common than many think; stablecoin transfer volumeshave reached unprecedented levels1; more than a third of small and me-dium businesses use crypto in their businesses2; and 6 in 10 F500 execu-tives say their companies are working on blockchain initiatives.3 1Allium2Small and Medium BusinessSurvey conducted for Coinbaseby NRG Research, April 20253Web3 Adoption Research,conducted for Coinbase byGLG Research, April 20254Institutional Investor DigitalAssets Survey, conducted forCoinbase in collaboration withthe EY-Parthenon practice,January 2025 And this is only just the beginning. Nearly 1 in 5 of F500 executives sayonchain initiatives are a key part of their company’s strategy movingforward (up 47% year on year) and more than 4 in 5 institutional inves-tors plan to increase their exposure to crypto this year.4 This growth in crypto is nowhere more apparent than among small andmedium businesses (SMBs), the backbone of the U.S. economy. 2025has been a triple double for crypto amongst SMBs. Year over year,the number of SMBs using crypto has doubled (34% in 2025 vs 17% in2024), the number of SMBs using stablecoins has doubled, and thenumber of SMBs who have paid or accepted a payment in crypto hasdoubled. Looking forward, demand is likely to only intensify as over 4 in5 of SMBs see crypto helping solve at least one of their financial painpoints (82%) and are interested in using crypto for their business (84%).And as the aphorism says, “as Main Street goes, so does the economy”. So, the future of money is here and it has only just begun. But it’s cleargreater regulatory certainty is still required for the potential of cryptoto be fully realized. That’s why passing market structure and stablecoinlegislation is so critical to the future of crypto innovation in America. 9in 10 F500 executives agree that clear regulation is needed to supportinnovation, more than 3 in 5 investors cite greater regulatory clarity asthe next catalyst for growth of the digital-asset industry and nearly3 in 4 (72%) of SMBs say they would be more likely to consider usingcrypto in their business if the market structure (i.e., rules and regula-tions for business use) for crypto were clearly defined.
