“All Banks Will Want to Have Their Stablecoins,” Evaluates Charles Mendlowicz, The Honest Economist.
Stablecoins, or “stable currencies,” are emerging as one of the most relevant digital assets, redefining the future of global transactions and payments. Developed to mitigate the high volatility characteristic of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins aim to maintain a constant value by tethering to external assets, such as fiat currencies (notably the US dollar) or commodities like gold.
Essentially, a stablecoin combines the stability of a traditional asset with the flexibility and efficiency of blockchain technology. “By being backed by reserves, like the dollar, the stablecoin allows the user to make fast, low-cost transactions available 24/7, overcoming the limitations of the traditional banking system,” explains Charles Mendlowicz, known as the Honest Economist, partner at consulting firm Ticker Wealth and four-time winner of the best investment influencer by ANBIMA.
The growing market interest in this type of asset is reflected in the numbers.

The Market Potential of Stablecoins
Charles Mendlowicz highlights the fundamental role that stablecoins are expected to occupy in the financial ecosystem.
He projects that even the traditional banking sector will adopt these assets, indicating the potential of this technology: “I think all banks will want to have their stablecoins.
It’s a huge potential market, so anyone who doesn’t know what it is will have to learn.”
Mendlowicz points out that stablecoins fill a gap left by volatile cryptocurrencies: the function of a medium of exchange.
“Those who have Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, don’t want to spend. I don’t want to spend Bitcoin to buy something,” he explains, differentiating stablecoins as transactional assets.
The economist concludes that because they are stable, they will be essential for international transfers and purchases.
“Stablecoins will be the true digital currencies because whoever has the stablecoin will spend it somewhere,” he asserts.
The Future of Transactions
With the expansion of capitalization and the increase in institutional adoption, stablecoins are consolidating as a new type of asset, essential for modern payment infrastructure.
They not only facilitate international transfers and e-commerce but also provide access to a stable currency for millions of people in high-inflation economies.
The trend points to a future where stablecoins will play a central role, integrating blockchain technology into the global financial system.
