Mitchnick believe say stablecoins go expand to B2B transfers, cross-border remittances, corporate payments, and financial settlements. Galaxy Research warn say rollups get durability wahala, and Cathie Wood don reduce Bitcoin price targets for 2030 as stablecoins dey rise.

Bearish
Dis news bad for Bitcoin because e show di palava wey Bitcoin dey face to become normal payment method. Short term, if dem too focus on speculative payment potential e fit reduce how investors dey excited and e go make buying pressure for BTC dey low as traders go begin put eye for stablecoins for transaction use. Long term, if Bitcoin no get better scaling solution, stablecoins fit carry more market share for on-chain payments, wey go limit BTC growth chance dem. Even though Bitcoin still dey good for store-of-value, the lack of immediate use for payment and lower price forecasts from big investors suggest say price of Bitcoin fit drop.
