Assurance, Failures, and the Path to Institutional Trust - June 2025

Major Crypto Failures: Market Cap Lost

UST and FTX-linked failures erased over $60B in value (Bloomberg, 2025).

Attestation Adoption (Top 20 Stablecoins)

Only 55% of leading stablecoins now provide monthly attestation (AICPA, 2025).

Assurance Domains Coverage

Reserve verification leads; smart contract review and redemption mechanics lag (PwC, 2025).

Disclosure Standardization Index

AICPA framework lifts market-wide comparability by 48% (AICPA, 2025).

Institutional Adoption Criteria

Attestation is now a precondition for custody, collateral, and exchange listing (FSB, 2025).

Investor Trust Gap: Survey Results

Trust in unaudited stablecoins remains below 30% among institutions (EY, 2025).
