In March 2022, the market peaked at $167 billion, but it quickly fell, reaching just $135 billion by the end of the year. Dynamo DeFi, a cryptocurrency expert, stated in a post on August 26 on X that he believes this to be an indication that “New money is entering crypto.”

Stablecoin Giants: Tether Reaches $117 Billion, Circle USD Climbs to $34 Billion

Tether has been the front-runner among stablecoins. USDT had a $91.69 billion market capitalization not long after year-end. Its market value reached above $117 billion for the first time in August 2024, after consistent monthly rises throughout the year. On the other hand, despite being much below its all-time high of $55.8 billion in June 2022, Circle USD has experienced a year of growth, attaining a market worth of nearly $34 billion, its highest point for 2024.

A July analysis from CCData states that decreased trading activity on centralized exchanges caused stablecoin trading volumes to drop 8.35% to $795 billion last month. The analysis attributes the decline in stablecoin trading activity on centralized exchanges during July to MiCA restrictions, which have sparked worries about the future of USDT in Europe. According to CoinMarketCap, the market’s trading volume is currently slightly above $46 billion, indicating that the trend has persisted into August.
