Battle Of The Stablecoins: USDC Transactions On Ethereum Surpass USDT

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

With the crypto market crash has come a renewed interest in the cover that stablecoins provide investors. As a result of this, crypto investors had flocked to stablecoins such as USDT, BUSD, USDC, etc, for this exact reason. What followed was fierce competition between these stables as they pulled for more market dominance. Evidently, USDT has led the stablecoin market for years but it seems like this is about to change.

USDC Volume Flips USDT

Stablecoin volume has been on the rise in recent times. With the implosion of UST had come wariness about the stability of these stablecoins but this sentiment quickly faded into the background as more investors took cover in them. This saw the market cap of the leading stablecoins grow even through the market crash. USDT had led the charge with its volume reaching record highs during this time.

However, it seems USDT is seeing more competition for its title as the king of the stablecoins. USDT which is now operational on multiple blockchains had maintained its high volume but is now seeing significant competition from USDC.

The volume of USDC on the Ethereum blockchain has now surpassed that of USDT. Data from Messari shows that while USDT had done $474 million in real volume over the past 24 hours on the Ethereum network, USDC’s volume had come out to $1.2 billion. It will be one of the few times that a stablecoin volume is surpassing that of USDT on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Best Stablecoins

There are a number of reasons that are behind the move to stablecoins such as USDC. For the longest time, there have been concerns about the backing of the USDT tokens, such as holding Chinese commercial papers, which the company has denied. Mostly, Tether, the firm behind the stablecoin, has assured users that it is adequately backed but there remain those who do not believe there is enough backing for it. This is where USDC enters the picture.

Unlike USDT, Circle’s USDC has never come under the same level of scrutiny. The CFO revealed in May that it was “backed by the equivalent value of U.S. dollar-denominated assets.” Also, due to the fact that Circle is a lot more forthcoming about the investments that back the tokens, they have enjoyed a higher level of faith among investors as it is presently viewed as a ‘safe’ stablecoin to put money into.

The market cap of these two stablecoins also mirrors the fierce rivalry between them. USDT maintains its position as the largest stablecoin in the market but USDC remains right behind it. While the former boasts a market cap of $67.4 billion at present according to Coinmarketcap, USDC’s market cap has grown to $55.67 billion, making it the second-largest stablecoin. 

Overall, though, USDT maintains its dominance in terms of total volume. The majority of the token’s supply is now held in the TRON network due to its cheaper transaction fees and its total volume on Coinmarketcap is more than 10x that of USDC.
