Goldman Sachs Predicts Stablecoins to Make the Richest Folks Even Richer – Trillions Await

by

Well, slap my knee and call me a fortune-teller-Goldman Sachs claims them shiny stablecoins could be worth enough to make a Texas cattle baron blush, reaching into the trillions, as of August 20.

Goldman Sachs’ Will Nance Sees a Trillion-Dollar Stablecoin Fairytale Coming True – Or So They Say

The smart folks at Goldman, including one Will Nance – yes, that man’s name sounds like a character from a soap opera – penned a note that says stablecoins are like a big ol’ fish in the pond of global finance, powered by folks finally understanding how to make ’em play nice with rules and speed. Right now, these shiny things called stablecoins are worth about $271 billion, with heavyweights like Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) leading the parade.

Today, most people just use ‘em to gamble with crypto, but Goldman Sachs says there’s a big ol’ horizon on the horizon-like stretching all the way to the moon and then some. They mention a Visa fella estimating a humongous $240 trillion a year changing hands-stuff like buying bread, paying bills, or even borrowing sugar. Fortune’s report says Goldman believes compliant stablecoins – think of ’em as the well-behaved cousin of crypto – could grow at a rate that’d make an investing squirrel dizzy, adding about $77 billion by 2027, if my math is right and the world keeps turning.

The growth is likely to eat into the smaller fish, especially now that Uncle Sam has stepped in with new rules (that U.S. GENIUS Act from July 2025-sounds like a sitcom). It insists stablecoins must be backed 1:1 with good ol’ U.S. Treasuries or cold, hard cash. Edwards, the reporter, says Goldman thinks these coins will do things like settle interbank IOUs faster than a greased pig, but they ain’t too worried about the card shufflers and money-transmitting folks-they’ll probably just hold their noses and go along for the ride.

Heck, even big shots like Blackrock, Franklin Templeton, and BNY Mellon are jumping in, turning assets into digital tokens faster than a cat can knock over a glass-linking those tokens to stablecoins for quicker “settle-ment,” as they call it. Goldman’s Nance and his crew fired off the report just after Tony Pasquariello, a wise man, said he still favors gold, silver, and Bitcoin as the real “store of value”-which is fancy talk for “it’s money that won’t vanish overnight.”

So, all signs point to this newfangled stablecoin business being big enough to turn the world upside down-like a Jackrabbit on a hot tin roof. And if Pasquariello’s right, that means gold, silver, and Bitcoin might just be the best ticket to surviving the crazy circus of markets. 🚀💰
