Stablecoin market just wrapped 2025 with impressive growth—market cap surged roughly 50% over the year, climbing from $207 billion at the start to $307 billion by year-end.

The action really showed across the major players:

USDT expanded from $137B to $187B, cementing its dominance.

USDC made solid gains, growing from $44B to $76B.

USDS, the newer contender, skyrocketed from $1.28B to $6B—that's a roughly 4.7x jump.

What's interesting here isn't just the numbers—it's what they signal about market confidence in stablecoins as the year progressed. More supply in circulation typically means more real adoption across trading pairs, lending protocols, and cross-chain activity.

The recent surge of USDS... really can't hold back anymore, 4.7x increase, skyrocketed from 1.28B. Are we just going to let it steal the spotlight? Tether is still the big brother, already at 187B, while others are still chasing behind.

USDT is still the big boss, but the 4.7x increase in USDS is a bit crazy... Is it real?

That 4.7x for USDS is really outrageous. Newcomers just have the potential.

USDT is still the big boss, but the recent surge of USDS is really incredible... 4.7 times? Luckily, I didn't go all in.

USDT is still the main choice, and the surge of USDS is incredible... However, the real test is whether we can retain this new liquidity next year.

USDT is still so dominant. A growth of 5 billion indicates what? It shows that this thing is really popular. Wait, how did USDS increase like this, 4.7 times? That's a bit outrageous, brother. The stablecoin market has grown 50% in a year. It sounds easy, but it actually means people are really using it, not just talk on paper. USDC has doubled, and no one really boasted about it, but USDT topics are the most talked about... It feels a bit abnormal. The stablecoin market with a scale of 30 billion is no longer small-scale. This time, it might really be coming.
