Over the last month, the stablecoin sector set several notable records. Let's take a closer look at the numbers👇

1. Market cap The total stablecoin market cap reached an ATH of $269B, with July seeing a 5% growth compared to June. Exactly one year ago, on August 7, the number was standing at $166B, or 39% below the current level. $USDT remains the dominating asset, capturing 61% market share with $164.7B market cap. As usual, it's followed by $USDC with ~24% share. Over the last 30d, @ethena_labs' $USDe supply grew by an impressive 84%. Its market cap is now at $9.78B, making $USDe the third-largest stablecoin with 3.6% market share. As of August 1, the total supply of stables on @ethereum was $136B, making it the absolute leader, accounting for 52% of the market. It is followed by @trondao (32%) and @BNBCHAIN (4.2%).

2. Activity metrics In July, stablecoins reached an ATH of 44.8M in active addresses. $USDT (30.2M), $USDC (12M), and $USD1 (0.87M) had the highest number of interacting addresses. @BNBCHAIN led with 14.7M active stablecoin addresses, followed by Tron (9.9M), @0xPolygon (5M), and @solana (4.2M). Over the past 30 days, stablecoin transactions totaled 1.3B.

3. Volume Stablecoin volume hit an ATH of $1.5T in July, up 18% month-over-month and nearly 50% compared to July 2024. $USDC accounted for almost half of the volume (48.76%), followed by $USDT (27.4%) and $DAI (17.6%).

4. What's next The stablecoin sector accelerated the growth after the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts provided regulatory clarity and leading stables, with fully collateralized and compliant issuers set to benefit the most. Meanwhile, non-collateralized algorithmic stablecoins, those with insufficient or risky collateral, and non-compliant offshore issuers face significant regulatory risk. Regulation is likely to consolidate market share among top issuers while limiting riskier models. Anyway, with clear rules, record numbers, and shifting market power, the sector has a strong foundation for further growth. At the current pace, the total stablecoin market cap could reach $300B by year-end.
