The prediction explicitly refers to "the coming years", implying a multi‑year horizon. As of now (30 Nov 2025), only a bit over four months have passed since the 19 Jul 2025 podcast, so the full time window has clearly not elapsed.

Empirically, dollar‑based stablecoins are seeing rapid global growth:

• Global stablecoin market cap has passed about $300B with daily average transaction volumes in the trillions, and they are expanding from trading into payments, savings, and business uses worldwide. (business-standard.com)
• Reports estimate stablecoins are actively used in 50+ countries, especially for remittances, ecommerce, and as a “digital dollar” in high‑inflation economies like Nigeria and Argentina. (coinlaw.io)
• Studies show hundreds of millions of wallet addresses and trillions of dollars of on‑chain volume, with significant shares of payments activity (P2P, B2B, and card‑based) now moving over stablecoins in multiple regions. (crypto.news)

At the same time, major regulators still describe real‑economy, day‑to‑day payment use as limited in some developed markets. For example, the European Central Bank notes that stablecoins’ use in the real economy is still limited in Europe, even while the sector is large and systemically relevant. (cincodias.elpais.com) That makes it hard to say they are already “commonly used for transactions” across many countries in the everyday sense implied by the normalized prediction.

Given:

1. The prediction’s multi‑year timeframe has not yet run its course, and
2. Current data show strong momentum but not yet clear, mainstream everyday usage “all over the world,”

it’s too early to judge definitively whether the prediction will ultimately be right or wrong.
