According to Foresight News , citing Bloomberg, stablecoin trading volume grew by 72% in 2025, reaching a record high of $33 trillion. Among them, USDC issued by Circle topped the list with a trading volume of $18.3 trillion, while USDT issued by Tether had a trading volume of $13.3 trillion.
Data shows that stablecoin trading volume reached $11 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2025. While USDT's current market capitalization (approximately $187 billion) is far higher than USDC's (approximately $75 billion), USDC dominates DeFi platforms and high-frequency trading flows.

Furthermore, Bloomberg predicts that stablecoin payment flows could reach $56 trillion by 2030.
