Stablecoin Market Reaches Record High with Increased Trading Activity

According to Odaily, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has reached a historic high of $258.5 billion, marking a 2.7% increase from the previous month. The average daily trading volume of stablecoins has rebounded by 13.2% to $143.1 billion, reversing last week's decline, although it remains 6.3% lower compared to the previous month. However, the number of transactions has decreased by 10% week-on-week, totaling 35.3 million. This divergence between trading volume and transaction count may indicate an increase in average transaction size or heightened institutional activity. The average daily transaction fees for stablecoins have risen by 8.9% week-on-week, reaching $23 million, demonstrating strong demand for stablecoin applications. Smaller protocols have shown impressive performance, with Sky's fees surging by 362.0% to $1.5 million, Ethena's increasing by 367.8% to $613,700, and Usual's fees skyrocketing by 8142.4% to $64,700. The growth in fees suggests a significant increase in user engagement across both major and emerging stablecoin platforms.
