 So, about that stablecoin adoption… But also, consider the sponsors of the report. 

“Out of about $2.2 trillion in total transactions in April, just $149 billion originated from ‘organic payments activity,’ the report said. The analysis removed transactions done by bots and large-scale traders to ‘isolate those made by real people.’”
