Too hasty to say NO, we come across as #Web3 bros/maxis living in denial;
Too hasty to say YES, we will be underestimating how dynamic and robust this space really is, how much it has gone through just to exist, and how much more it can still grow and evolve.

🔸 $USDT circulating supply declined by an incredible -$17.24 Billion since 11 May.
🔸 $USDC supplies have risen by $7.3B over the same period of time.
🔸 $BUSD supplies have also grown by $0.7B.
🔸 $DAI supplies have contracted by $1.6B.

Competition is rising, and market preference appears to be structurally shifting.
The result of these supply shifts is a notable shift in dominance between the top 4 stablecoins.
In the last half a decade, dozens of countries have announced plans to launch a #CBDC of their own.
Indeed, according to @AtlanticCouncil, a staggering 105 countries are now exploring CBDCs, including 19 countries in the G20.

Out of the G7 economies, the UK and the US are the furthest behind in terms of CBDC development, whereas a total of 10 countries worldwide have already launched their CBDC (including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Nigeria, and several countries in the Caribbean.)

With the potential to improve financial inclusion, reduce counterfeiting, cut down cross-border transaction fees and times, and improve transparency in the money supply, CBDCs could demonstrate the viability of blockchain technology for major financial use cases.
