Stablecoins Grow Up into Real Money, Says A16Z

In the grand tradition of things that start with a noble aim and end up elbow-deep in receipts, stablecoins have moved from being a safety blanket for crypto storms to the very plumbing of modern money. They began as a sensible hedge against volatility, and now they’re the sort of thing you’d call “global financial infrastructure” if you were trying to sound important at a dinner party.
