Two 59%+ winners, four above 25% in Aug – How this AI model keeps picking winners
On Wednesday, Citizens JMP released a comprehensive industry overview on the stablecoin market, highlighting its potential as a major financial theme in the coming years. This trend aligns with Meta’s strong financial position, as InvestingPro data shows the company maintaining impressive gross profit margins of 82% and holding more cash than debt on its balance sheet. The firm’s analysts project that the stablecoin market capitalization, currently at approximately $250 billion, is expected to grow to over $3 trillion by 2030. This anticipated growth is attributed to an increase in demand driven by the expansion of real-world applications beyond mere trading. These applications include remittances, business-to-business (B2B) payments, e-commerce, tokenized financial markets, and monetary uses in economies susceptible to inflation.
Citizens JMP’s analysis suggests that the stablecoin market could see over $50 trillion in annual transaction volume by the end of the next decade, based on specific turnover assumptions for each market segment. The firm believes that the opportunities for stablecoin integration into vast addressable markets indicate a significant potential for long-term expansion. Meta appears well-positioned to capitalize on this growth, with InvestingPro reporting a robust revenue growth of 19% and strong return on equity of 40%. For deeper insights into Meta’s financial health and growth potential, including 11 additional exclusive ProTips, explore the comprehensive Pro Research Report available on InvestingPro.
Despite a normalization of interest rates, the firm estimates that the stablecoin market could offer approximately $100 billion in revenue opportunities for industry participants by 2030. This revenue is expected to come from a combination of incremental income for certain companies and a partial offset for others. The increase in float revenue earned from reserves is likely to compensate for any declines in transaction revenue.
Currently, the stablecoin market is predominantly controlled by Tether and Circle, which together hold around 85% of the market share. However, Citizens JMP anticipates changes in the issuer landscape following regulatory developments. The firm predicts a competitive "land grab" as banks, financial technology companies, and large tech corporations consider launching their own stablecoins or incorporating existing ones into their services. According to Citizens JMP, the future market share will be determined by factors such as distribution control, brand trust, and operational scale.
