Stablecoins can potentially replace credit cards in retail payments due to their price stability, often pegged to assets like the USD, reducing volatility risks. They enable fast, low-cost transactions on blockchain networks, bypassing traditional banking intermediaries, which can lower fees for merchants and consumers. For instance, stablecoin transactions on networks like Ethereum or Solana often settle in seconds with minimal costs compared to credit card processing fees (1-3%). Additionally, stablecoins offer global accessibility, requiring only a digital wallet, making them appealing for cross-border payments. However, challenges include regulatory uncertainty, limited merchant adoption, and concerns over wallet security. While credit cards provide consumer protections like chargebacks, stablecoins lack similar mechanisms, potentially deterring users.
