A lot of people still think this is “future” talk
But for a huge part of Asia… it’s already becoming normal life
The more time I spend digging through the data, the more it feels like the world is quietly shifting toward APAC and stablecoins at the exact same time
TRM has APAC holding 350 million out of 820 million active crypto wallets globally in 2025. That’s 43% of the entire space… yet somehow people still talk about Asia like we’re “early” or secondary markets
At the same time, stablecoins moved over $30 trillion globally last year. Almost 2x Visa’s fiscal year volume
Real-world stablecoin payments alone hit $400 billion. Visa crypto card spend jumped 525% YoY too
And honestly… from the lens of someone building @pudgypenguins in Asia, all these dots connect very naturally
The users are already here The rails are already here The behavior shift is already happening
That’s why the Pengu @kastxyz Card getting 100,000 waitlist signups in 24 hours back in February felt bigger than people realized at the time 🐧
I genuinely think the onboarding window most people thought would take 10 years compressed into the last 12 months
