Visa: 66% in Asia-Pacific know stablecoins, but only 6% understand them

  • —46% plan to use stablecoins within five years versus 16% who used them in the past year
  • —Awareness is highest in Hong Kong (84%), India (80%) and Thailand (77%)
  • —Usage intent is strongest in Vietnam and India at 67% each
  • —49% wrongly believe stablecoins are only for crypto trading, and 41% think they always appreciate
Why it matters: The gap between awareness and understanding is holding back mainstream stablecoin adoption in payments and remittances.
