👨🏻‍💻 Stablecoins at Scale: Broad Adoption and Highly Concentrated Illicit Networks

Stablecoin activity exceeded USD 1 trillion in monthly transaction volume multiple times in 2025, reinforcing their role as core payment and settlement infrastructure rather than speculative trading instruments.

📌 In 2025, illicit entities received approximately USD 141 billion via stablecoin wallets, with the majority of this activity concentrated in financial crimes such as sanctions evasion and large-scale money laundering.

Sanctions-related activity accounted for 86% of all illicit crypto flows in 2025, driven largely by sanctioned wallets, exchanges, and networked payment platforms relying heavily on stablecoins.

📎 Stablecoin usage varies sharply by illicit category, with near-total adoption in illicit goods and services and laundering networks, compared to more selective use in scams, fraud, ransomware and other opportunistic crime types.

Professional facilitators and networked intermediaries — including guarantee services and front-company exchanges where up to 99% of volume is denominated in stablecoins — represent the primary locus of stablecoin-related illicit risk.
