North America is driving this shift.

Not just by activity - but through:
• Regulatory clarity
• Institutional participation
• Financial infrastructure

This is where compliant models are gaining traction.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

The stablecoin landscape has evolved through 3 phases:

Trading infrastructure era (2015 - 2020)
DeFi financialization era (2020 - 2024)
Institutionalization era (2024 - Present)

Stablecoins are now increasingly powering real financial use cases such as cross-border remittances and enterprise payments.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

Stablecoins are no longer just a crypto trading tool.
In 2025:

• Market cap hit $308B (+50% YoY)
• On-chain volume reached $33.4T (+74%)

We’ve entered the institutionalization era. @Ripple's RLUSD is built for exactly this moment. 👇

Stablecoins are moving from trading tools to core financial infrastructure. North America leads, with 45% of total crypto transaction value in transfers over $10M — signaling institutional-scale flows driving demand for regulated, compliance-first assets. RLUSD is designed for that environment.

Crypto's been celebrating the holiday season since early November, and $BTC's bull run now has Pudgy Penguin with it. AI agents, however, are no joke, @shauryamalwa and @jacobjoseph97 write in Crytpo Daybook Americas.

[Louis @LouisCooper_]

Are you feeling like your portfolio is a complete mess heading into the bull?

Here's a few pointers to calm you down:

- You have 18-24 months to print. This is just an appetiser
- Many of the top performers are yet to be launched
- it only takes 1-2 trades to change your life

If all the above was not true and everyone was perfectly allocated, we would not see CT constantly rotate between chains to chase the pumps.

Stay open-minded to new niches, be an avid learner, respect the current pumps, and you'll have a way higher chance of making it.
