New Report: Mapping the Stablecoin Value Chain 2026

We today announced the release of Mapping the Stablecoin Value Chain 2026, a new research report produced in partnership with Dakota and Rise that examines how stablecoins are evolving from crypto-native assets into a foundational layer of global financial infrastructure.

The report maps the complete stablecoin value chain, from issuance and treasury management to payments, payroll, and yield, providing businesses, financial institutions, and industry participants with a framework for understanding where and how stablecoins create value in real-world operations.

As stablecoin adoption accelerates, the report argues that the industry's defining question is no longer whether stablecoins work, but where organizations fit within the emerging financial stack.

"Stablecoins won't reach their potential through better wallets. They'll reach it through better infrastructure.

The companies actually moving money at scale don't want to rebuild custody, compliance, and cross-border rails for every market they enter. They want regulated primitives they can compose." - Ryan Bozarth, founder and CEO of Dakota

"Stablecoin payroll only matters if it's invisible to the employer and empowering for the worker." - Hugo Finkelstein, Co-founder and CEO of Rise

Key findings from the report include:

• Why stablecoins are expanding beyond payments.
• How treasury is becoming a competitive advantage.
• What happens when money moves 24/7.
• The emergence of payroll-native stablecoin networks.
• Why yield is becoming embedded into digital dollars.
• How regulation is reshaping market structure.
• The race to own the stablecoin value chain.

The report also explores the role of infrastructure providers, compliance frameworks, and regulatory developments that are shaping the next phase of stablecoin adoption.

Mapping the Stablecoin Value Chain 2026 is available as a free download.
