The Economist: In Asia, Stablecoins Are Becoming the New Financial Infrastructure

Stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a new financial infrastructure across Asia, driven by real-world needs for efficient and low-cost transactions. Despite cautious or strict regulatory stances in countries like India, cryptocurrency adoption continues to thrive. India, which imposes heavy taxes and transaction fees, still leads the global crypto adoption index, with inflows reaching approximately $338 billion from mid-2024 to 2025. A key application is cross-border remittances. With 24 million migrant workers in Southeast Asia, traditional remittance fees averaging 6.5% per $200 transfer pose a significant burden. Stablecoins, unlike volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, offer a stable, fast, and accessible alternative. From January to July last year, global stablecoin transfers exceeded $4 trillion. Businesses are also adopting stablecoins to streamline payments, reducing intermediaries, delays, and costs. Monthly stablecoin transactions between enterprises surged from under $100 million in early 2023 to over $6 billion by mid-2025. Additionally, Asia’s vast gig economy—over 210 million workers—benefits from instant salary settlements via stablecoins, bypassing traditional banking delays. However, the same features that benefit legitimate transactions—speed, low cost, and accessibility—also risk being exploited for illicit activities. The future of stablecoins in Asia will depend on how effectively regulators balance innovation with oversight. Success could reshape global finance; failure may leave crypto with a practical—but illegal—use case.

Blockchain Capital Partner: Crypto Assets Are Undergoing a Great Repricing

Despite achieving unprecedented success with record-breaking metrics—$33 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume, 3.2 billion retail transactions, and widespread adoption by major financial institutions and tech companies—the crypto industry is experiencing deep pessimism due to declining token prices. This divergence between fundamental success and market performance reflects a structural reassessment of where value accumulates. The core issue is a decoupling between product utility and token value. While infrastructure tokens (L1s, L2s, bridges, protocols) were expected to capture value, economic benefits are increasingly flowing to application-layer entities controlling user relationships and distribution—such as Phantom, Polymarket, Tether, and centralized exchanges like Coinbase. These players leverage routing power to commoditize underlying infrastructure, pushing value upward in the stack. This shift challenges long-held investment theses that assumed token holders would benefit directly from protocol-scale adoption. The market now demands explicit links between usage, revenue, and token value. While infrastructure remains relevant, tokens are evolving toward models that integrate application-layer economics or represent tokenized equity with cash-flow rights. The industry is transitioning from speculation and validation to a focus on sustainable value capture, where success requires not just building useful products but ensuring economic rewards align with contributions.

From 24 to 1 to 5: YC No Longer Invests in Crypto, But Crypto Hasn't Disappeared

The article analyzes Y Combinator's shifting investment strategy in crypto, moving from a peak of 24 crypto startups in a single batch (Winter 2022) to a low of just 1 (Summer 2024), with a recent modest rebound to 5 in Winter 2026. The key insight is that while the *number* of crypto investments has drastically fallen, the *nature* of these investments has fundamentally changed. YC is no longer funding traditional crypto-native sectors like L1/L2 protocols, DeFi, or NFTs. Instead, the five recent investments are infrastructure companies that use crypto as a backend tool to solve specific problems, with the end-user often unaware of the underlying blockchain technology. Examples include: * **Unifold:** A Stripe-like API for crypto deposits. * **SpotPay:** A cross-border neobank powered by stablecoins. * **Sequence Markets:** An execution engine for digital asset trading. * **Orthogonal:** A payment gateway for AI agents to pay for APIs, utilizing crypto for machine-to-machine micropayments. * **Forum:** A regulated "attention exchange" to trade on cultural trends, potentially involving tokenization. The author, a professional in both crypto and AI, concludes that Silicon Valley's mainstream is redefining crypto's value proposition: its greatest potential is not as a standalone industry but as invisible infrastructure for other sectors, particularly in stablecoin financial services and emerging fields like AI agent economies. The message for crypto builders is to focus on solving real-world problems where crypto is the best tool, rather than building for the crypto ecosystem itself.
