  2. Geographic flows & corridors — Regional breakdown, country-level activity, top cross-border corridors, and the domestic vs. cross-border split.
  3. Liquidity & holder concentration — Who holds stablecoins: exchanges, consumers, businesses. How concentration is shifting.
  4. Velocity & maturity signals — Turnover rates by chain and over time. What rising velocity means for adoption.
  5. Blockchain infrastructure — Supply, volume, and transaction count by chain. Behavioral profiles for Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BSC, and Base.
  6. Strategic implications — What the data means for payment networks, fintech builders, and institutional investors.
