Stablecoin activity on Ethereum Layer-2 networks has surged to unprecedented levels, reflecting the increasing integration of digital assets in real-world applications. As of December 20, 2024, stablecoins across all blockchains have surpassed $205 billion in circulation, with Ethereum alone holding $13.5 billion in stablecoin value, according to data from Tie Terminal and Cointelegraph Markets Pro. The most prominent stablecoins leading the market are Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Ethena’s USDe.
Matthias Seidl, co-founder of growth analytics firm growthepie.xyz, highlighted the expanding role of stablecoins on Ethereum Layer-2 solutions, with the total value on these networks approaching $12 billion. Among the Layer-2 networks, Arbitrum One leads with $6.75 billion in stablecoin supply, followed by Base with $3.56 billion. The significant increase in stablecoin use within these networks demonstrates their critical role in driving liquidity and adoption across the crypto ecosystem.
The stablecoin market has seen remarkable growth since its low of $135 billion in December 2022, with Tether (USDT) leading the charge. By December 19, 2024, Tether's market cap surged to over $140 billion, while USD Coin (USDC) has maintained a solid presence at $42 billion, although still below its peak of $55.8 billion in 2022. With regulations like the European Union's MiCA and potential stablecoin legislation in the US, experts predict that the market will continue to expand significantly in 2025, possibly doubling to $400 billion.
As stablecoins increasingly penetrate global remittances and payments markets, their growth could play a key role in the continued evolution of the cryptocurrency sector, positioning them as integral components of the broader digital economy.
