# Size of the Opportunity

The reward-bearing digital dollar sector currently accounts for approximately 5-6% of the total stablecoin market capitalization.

With various forecasts predicting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50% for stablecoin supply during the next decade, the total market is projected to exceed $2 trillion by 2032.

> *"I believe that stablecoin legislation backed by U.S. treasuries or T-bills will create a market that will expand U.S. dollar usage via these stablecoins all around the world. I think that 
$2 trillion is a very reasonable number, and I could see it greatly exceeding that."*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ethena.fi/overview/size-of-the-opportunity.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
