Coinbase, a listed cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, released its latest "State of Cryptocurrency" quarterly report yesterday (10th), revealing the rapid adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies among global enterprises. The report indicates that approximately 60% of Fortune 500 executives state that their companies are actively "committed to blockchain projects", demonstrating that blockchain technology is becoming a key driver of corporate transformation.
The report cited a survey conducted by EY-Parthenon in January 2025, finding that nearly one-fifth of Fortune 500 executives view blockchain projects as the core of their long-term strategy, a 47% increase from the previous year. Additionally, Coinbase noted that over four-fifths of institutional investors plan to increase their cryptocurrency investments in 2025, showing continued growing confidence in digital assets.
Significant Growth in Blockchain Adoption Among Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs)
The report also pointed out a significant growth in blockchain adoption among small and medium businesses (SMBs), with more and more SMBs beginning to test cryptocurrency payment tools and stablecoins. Over 80% of surveyed SMBs indicated that cryptocurrencies can effectively solve specific financial "pain points", such as simplifying invoice management and accounts receivable processes. Among SMBs not yet using cryptocurrencies, 46% plan to integrate blockchain technology into their operations within the next three years.
The report further noted that nearly three-quarters of respondents believe regulatory transparency will be the "next catalyst" for industry growth. Coinbase emphasized that the United States needs to pass legislation such as the GENIUS Stablecoin Act and the CLARITY Market Structure Act to realize the full potential of cryptocurrencies and promote innovation.
Stablecoins Becoming a Core Force in Blockchain Applications
In the stablecoin market, Coinbase's survey showed that stablecoins are becoming a core force in blockchain applications, with global stablecoin holders exceeding 161 million, and supply growing 54% annually. The annual stablecoin transfer volume in 2024 reached $27.6 trillion, surpassing Visa and Mastercard's total transaction volume for the same year by 7.68%. In December 2024, a monthly transfer volume record of $719 billion was set, followed closely by $717.1 billion in April 2025, demonstrating stablecoins' strong potential in instant global payments.
Coinbase emphasized that stablecoin applications include near-instant, low-cost cross-border remittances, reduced payment processing fees, improved payroll efficiency, combating inflation, and providing a payment bridge for the unbanked. Stablecoins and blockchain technology are reshaping the global financial system, with 2025 expected to be a breakthrough year for stablecoins.
