Will US Firms Adopt Stablecoins? Survey Says They're Not Enthusiastic

We surveyed 148 firms active in the Fourth District about whether they had plans to use stablecoins. Responses were overwhelmingly negative, with only eight of our contacts expressing any such plans. Asked why they did not plan to use stablecoins, respondents cited satisfaction with existing payment methods, unfamiliarity with the new technology, and a lack of demand from clients and suppliers to pay using stablecoins.

Abstract

We surveyed 148 firms active in the Fourth District about whether they had plans to use stablecoins. Responses were overwhelmingly negative, with only eight of our contacts expressing any such plans. Asked why they did not plan to use stablecoins, respondents cited satisfaction with existing payment methods, unfamiliarity with the new technology, and a lack of demand from clients and suppliers to pay using stablecoins.
