BlockBeats news: On January 9, Bloomberg cited data from Artemis Analytics, reporting that global stablecoin transaction volume surged 72% year-on-year in 2025, reaching a record $33 trillion. The significant expansion in stablecoin usage was driven by a pro-cryptocurrency policy environment.
Among them, Circle's USDC reached a trading volume of $18.3 trillion, ranking first; Tether's USDT had a trading volume of $13.3 trillion, also maintaining a high level. Together, they account for the majority of stablecoin trading activity.
Reports indicate that the use of stablecoins in payments, transaction settlements, and cross-border fund transfers has significantly increased after the Trump administration signaled a more friendly approach to cryptocurrency policies, making stablecoins one of the most critical infrastructures in the crypto market. Analysts believe that the explosive growth in stablecoin transaction volumes highlights their rising importance in the global financial system and has also drawn greater attention to future regulatory and policy directions.
