Stablecoin transactions hit a record US$33 trillion in 2025, up 72% from the previous year, according to data from Artemis Analytics.

USDC, a stablecoin developed by Circle Internet Group, accounted for US$18.3 trillion in transactions, while Tether’s USDT reported US$13.3 trillion.

USDC led transaction flows despite USDT having a larger market value of US$187 billion, compared to USDC’s US$75 billion, as per CoinGecko data.

Analysts say the surge was partly driven by new US policy under President Donald Trump, including the Genius Act, which set legal standards for stablecoins.

Major firms such as Standard Chartered, Walmart, and Amazon are exploring stablecoin launches.

The share of stablecoin transactions on decentralized platforms dropped, suggesting increased use in mainstream finance.

Artemis Analytics reported that Q4 2025 stablecoin transaction volume reached US$11 trillion.
