Stablecoins Approach $250 Billion, Anchoring 8% Of Global Crypto
Stablecoin issuance has increased significantly over the past 90 days, with billions flowing in weekly. USDT dominates the market with over 66% share, while USDC and DAI account for the remainder. Total stablecoin market capitalization is approximately $250 billion, representing nearly 8% of all crypto assets. Demand for a reliable dollar peg drives this growth, particularly for Tether. Bitcoin and stablecoins together constitute about 74% of the total crypto market. Analysts predict potential altcoin growth in Q3 2025 due to high stablecoin liquidity and prevailing market uncertainty. Many investors are holding stablecoins, awaiting clearer market signals before investing in altcoins. Recent increases in stablecoin inflows to exchanges may indicate a shift in market sentiment. Observers are closely watching Bitcoin's price stability, as maintaining levels above recent lows could enhance overall market confidence and potentially lead to altcoin rallies. The current market situation suggests a waiting period before potential fund rotation into altcoins.
