2025 Stablecoin Outlook: How Will the $200 Billion Market Develop?
In December 2024, crypto stablecoins surged dramatically, with circulation hitting a historical peak of $200 billion. Everyone is quite curious about how the stablecoin market will change in 2025.
Stablecoins are those cryptocurrencies that aim to match the value of real money, with USD stablecoins being the most common. They play a crucial role in the crypto space, accounting for 5% of market capitalization.
With 2025 just around the corner, let's take a look at how industry insiders predict the trends for stablecoins next year.
Heading Toward the $300 Billion Milestone: USDT and USDC to Continue Leading
Many industry leaders say that Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC (the top two stablecoins by market cap) will continue to dominate in 2025.
Guy Young, founder of the decentralized stablecoin protocol Ethena, stated that USDT will still hold the top position next year, with the total market cap of stablecoins expected to soar to $300 billion.
“I estimate that the circulation will exceed $300 billion. Tether will continue to leverage its current advantages, and the rest of the market will depend on new financial technologies, new players from Web2, and how they innovate their products,” Young remarked.
Ailona Tsik, head of marketing at Alchemy Pay, also mentioned that stablecoins like USDT and USDC have become great helpers in global trading, and in emerging markets and decentralized applications, it's likely that even more people will use them.
