DCo: Stablecoins and asset tokenization are reshaping Web3 business models
According to Mars Finance, a recent report by crypto research firm DCo indicates that the core driving force of the Web3 industry is shifting from asset speculation to practical applications centered on stablecoins and asset tokenization. Data shows that global stablecoin on-chain transactions reached $33 trillion last year, with particularly strong demand for digital dollars in emerging markets such as Latin America. The report points out that improved infrastructure is driving changes in several core areas. On the one hand, the barriers to building new on-chain banks have been significantly lowered, accelerating the implementation of business scenarios such as cross-border payroll; on the other hand, leading institutions such as Kraken are actively integrating tokenized assets, promoting the globalization of traditional financial assets such as US stocks. Furthermore, as the proportion of AI agents in network traffic continues to increase, stablecoins are gradually becoming the underlying payment network for instant settlement, thereby giving rise to new service demands for AI agent payments and risk assessment.
