Stablecoin Market Surpasses $200B, Signaling Potential Crypto Surge
The stablecoin market has expanded by nearly $40 billion since President Trump’s election victory, marking a significant shift in crypto liquidity and potential market momentum.
According to CryptoQuant, the total stablecoin market capitalization has now exceeded $200 billion—a record high—indicating that the broader crypto market could be primed for further growth.
Stablecoins, which are digital assets pegged to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar, serve as a crucial bridge for traders managing volatility while transitioning between assets. Data shows that since early November, when Donald Trump secured the U.S. presidency, the stablecoin sector has grown by $37 billion.
“The next major rally for bitcoin and the broader crypto market could be on the horizon as stablecoin liquidity begins expanding once again,” CryptoQuant noted in a recent report.
Tether (USDT) remains the dominant force in the sector, boasting a $139 billion market cap—a 15% increase since November. Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC has surged by 48% over the same period, reaching $52.5 billion, according to CryptoQuant data.
USDT’s 30-day liquidity change has now turned slightly positive after contracting by 2% at the start of the year, while USDC’s liquidity has jumped 20%—its fastest growth rate in over a year.
Bitcoin (BTC) has risen more than 50% in the same timeframe, pushing the total cryptocurrency market value from $2.2 trillion to $3.5 trillion, based on TradingView’s Total Crypto Market Cap index.
