Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
It is a comprehensive 57-page research report by BVNK, in partnership with YouGov, Coinbase, and Artemis, surveying 4,658 adults across 15 countries to understand how global consumers actually use stablecoins for ownership, spending, earning, and payments.
The report covers 15 countries across 7 regions (North America, Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, Asia-Pacific) with 4,658 survey respondents, grouped by high-income and low/middle-income economy classifications.
54% of respondents held stablecoins in the last 12 months, 56% intend to acquire more, and 49% increased their holdings. Ownership is highest in Africa (79%) and skews young (54% aged 18-34) and entrepreneurial.
Stablecoins move fast - 28% convert or spend within days. Desire to spend exceeds current spending in every category tested. 71% would use a linked debit card, and 52% have bought specifically because a merchant accepted stablecoins.
This template is ideal for fintech presentations, investor pitches, industry conference talks, board strategy decks, and market research briefings on stablecoin adoption, digital payments, and financial inclusion trends.
The report features a clean, modern design with BVNK's signature dark blue and cyan gradient palette, professional data visualizations, lifestyle photography, expert commentary sections, bold statement slides, and consistent branding throughout all 57 pages.
The top frustrations are irreversible payments and risk of losing funds (30%), too many steps to complete a payment (22%), needing to select specific blockchains (20%), and unfavorable exchange rates (20%). Users want stablecoins to work like everyday payments.
77% of respondents would open a stablecoin wallet if their bank or fintech app offered one (rising to 83% in low/middle-income economies). The trust is already there - the infrastructure gap is the only thing holding banks back.
