Recently, there was a quite interesting experimental result. Someone spent 30 days in Vietnam, traveling through 5 cities, and completed 106 real-world consumption tests using stablecoins like USDT and USDC. What's the conclusion? The daily payment coverage rate of stablecoins in Vietnam has already reached 97.17%.

To be honest, this number is truly eye-opening. Because it answers a question many people have been asking — can stablecoins really become a common payment method for ordinary people, replacing tools like Alipay and WeChat Pay? There are plenty of theoretical discussions, but opportunities to verify this in society are rare.

What makes this survey special is that the researcher completely abandoned cash and credit cards on the payment side, relying solely on stablecoins to handle daily transactions. The consumption side still used Vietnamese dong for settlement, but the entire payment chain was connected through stablecoins. From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, covering Hanoi, Nha Trang, Da Lat, and Ho Chi Minh City.

106 real-world scenarios, spanning 30 days and 5 cities, this kind of sample size and multi-region coverage can basically reflect the true usability of stablecoins in the Southeast Asian market. It seems that stablecoins have quietly moved beyond exchanges and the blockchain world, becoming a tangible payment option.
