The stablecoin market just hit a major milestone: 2025 saw total transaction volume reach $33 trillion, marking a stunning 72% surge year-over-year. This explosive growth underscores the increasingly central role that stablecoins play in crypto trading and DeFi ecosystems.

USDD leads the charge with an impressive $18.3 trillion in transaction volume, cementing its dominance in the stablecoin space. This commanding share reflects growing trader confidence and the critical infrastructure role stablecoins now occupy across exchanges and blockchain networks.

The numbers tell a compelling story: as more institutional and retail participants enter crypto markets, stablecoins have become the backbone of liquidity and settlement. Whether for trading pairs, yield farming, or cross-chain transfers, stablecoins are indispensable. With this trajectory, expect further consolidation and innovation in the stablecoin landscape as market participants seek efficiency and security.

33 trillion? As expected of a stablecoin, this wave has really taken off.

33 trillion, this number is truly astonishing. It feels like stablecoins have become an absolute necessity. USDD accounts for over 180,000, but I just want to know about the others—how they got crushed like this. By the way, can this growth rate be sustained? I always feel there's not enough momentum. Institutional involvement is just different, but what about the risks? Isn't anyone talking about that? With consolidation coming, small tokens are probably going to take a hit again—it's the rhythm of ecosystem reshuffling.

33 trillion? Oh my god, stablecoins have really become the lifeblood of trading. --- USDD dominates with 18.3 trillion, this number is outrageous... but it also shows that the market truly needs something like this. --- A 72% increase, crazy, by 2025 stablecoins will have exploded like this. --- Wait, does this mean institutions are entering the market? Feels like the trend is changing. --- The story of liquidity is always told this way... but can it really be sustained? --- Will there be any more innovation space for stablecoins? It feels like it's already very competitive. --- USDD alone accounts for 18.3 trillion, what are others playing at? --- Hmm... more and more people are using it, yet it’s becoming more centralized?
