[Token Cartoon] Liquidity is flowing… Now it’s stablecoin’s turn

There is plenty of money in circulation, but it has lost its direction on where it should flow.

The broad money supply (M2) announced by the Bank of Korea only increased by about 6% year-on-year as of 2024. The generally known M2 growth baseline necessary for the asset market to continue its upward trend is typically around 7-8% annually. The current liquidity is closer to a state of 'stagnation' rather than 'expansion'.

This cartoon questions the whereabouts of this stagnant liquidity. Major asset markets such as real estate, stocks, Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies are already filled with funds. The liquidity, like a ball, merely circles around a cup that has no more room to accommodate it. On the other side, a 'stablecoin' cup remains empty, symbolizing the reality that domestic stablecoin infrastructure is still unprepared.

In fact, the United States is already taking a different path. Representative stablecoins like USDC and USDT invest in US Treasury bonds based on dollar deposits secured by their issuers, and these earnings support token circulation. Global institutional investors like BlackRock are directly participating in this structure. Stablecoins are now evolving beyond simple digital payment methods to become key assets supporting the rear demand of national financial systems.

Bitcoin is a scarce asset with a fixed supply of 21 million. This scarcity is designed in code and can be verified in real-time on-chain for mining, circulation, and holdings. As a result, Bitcoin is gradually establishing its position not as a 'currency' but as a collateral asset or digital gold.

So, who will take on the role of currency? The answer is stablecoins. Digital currencies that are linked 1:1 with physical assets, move in real-time on-chain, and cross borders.

Now, Korea must prepare. Funds always choose the fastest and most flexible path. If stablecoins are not prepared now, these funds will soon bypass Korea.
