## Source summary

A Visa release distributed by PR Newswire describes a survey of 14,250 adults across 14 Asia-Pacific markets, conducted in June–July 2026. It reports that 46% said they were likely to use stablecoins within five years, versus 16% reporting use in the previous year. These are commissioned survey responses and intentions, not forecasts of realised adoption or payment volume.

## Why it matters

The study distinguishes potential payment demand from actual use, with understanding and trust remaining barriers.
