A decade of experimentation is giving way to real-world integration. Regulatory clarity has arrived. Institutional infrastructure is in place. And stablecoins - the breakthrough use case - are already moving trillions, serving as programmable dollars for the internet economy. This isn't a promise. It's already happening-and it's just the tip of the iceberg.
