1 Crypto forecasts on Chronopin: cited projections and data, each with its publisher, date and quote.
USD trillions of stablecoin issuance in Citi’s September 2025 base case. Not annual payment volume, all crypto assets or a token price target. The bull case is $4 trillion; Citi’s Q1 2026 summary still cites the $1.9 trillion projection. Other banks’ estimates are separate forecasts. History: USD trillions of total stablecoin supply outstanding at each 31 Dec (UTC; values rounded to $0.1B from DefiLlama's USD series), not Citi data; it matches the stock-of-issuance definition of Citi's $1.9T 2030 base case but is a different publisher, so label it accordingly.
