Visa study: 46% of APAC consumers would use stablecoins, but only 6% understand them

  • —46% of APAC respondents would use stablecoins within five years, but only 16% used them in the past 12 months
  • —66% have heard of stablecoins, while just 6% accurately understand how they work
  • —49% of those aware mistakenly believe stablecoins are only for buying and selling other crypto
  • —38% cite fraud or scam concerns and 36% a lack of understanding; 27% most trust government or central bank-linked issuers
Why it matters: The main barrier to stablecoin payments is not demand but confusion and scam fears, which limits mainstream adoption of USDT and USDC.
