2023-11-15 13:45

Quick Take

The stablecoin landscape is witnessing a significant divergence as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) continue on distinct trajectories. The circulating supply of USDT has recently crossed the 87 billion mark, highlighting its dominant market presence among the top five stablecoins. Notably, its burgeoning dominance is about to reach a whopping 72%, a pinnacle last seen in the early months of 2021.

Conversely, USDC’s supply has shown a downward trend, dropping below the 24 billion mark. This divergence between the two major stablecoins underscores the shifting dynamics in the digital currency ecosystem.
