In this cycle, on-chain innovation doesn't seem as lively, but a recent industry insider's perspective is worth pondering: stablecoins have actually already taken the lead over all "killer applications," becoming the true pioneers of large-scale adoption in crypto.

This is not just empty talk. Looking at a few specific scenarios makes it clear: cross-border payments, salary disbursements, corporate fund management—these are real and urgent needs, and they are naturally suited for on-chain settlement. No longer is there a need to wait for a revolutionary dApp to emerge; stablecoins have quietly changed the game in these high-frequency transactions.

Stablecoins are indeed quietly doing their work, but no one seems to notice.

Stablecoins have long been the main focus, while those constantly hyping NFTs and GameFi seem to be playing a supporting role.

Stablecoins have indeed defaulted. I used to imagine some super app could break through, but then I realized that people are already using stablecoins for work settlement. It's quite ironic.

Stablecoins should have taken the center stage long ago; those who keep hyping NFTs and GameFi are still dreaming.

Stablecoins are really low-key this time. Everyone is focused on the tricks of NFT and DeFi, but in fact, the money has already been quietly flowing on the chain.

Stablecoins are indeed the only things that have been implemented in real-world scenarios; everything else is still in the conceptual stage.

Stablecoins are indeed quietly working behind the scenes, but it seems most people are still just hyping the concept.

Stablecoins should have been the main focus long ago. The crypto community keeps dreaming of revolutionary applications, but in reality, stablecoins have been quietly doing all the work.

Stablecoins should have been popular a long time ago, but everyone is still trying to find the next Uniswap, it's hilarious.
