According to the source, a 2025 review asserts record stablecoin growth tied to a GENIUS Act opening the floodgates; traders should verify any U.S. federal legislation by reviewing bill text, status, and committee actions on Congress.gov before reallocating capital (source: Congress.gov). To confirm whether the stablecoin market cap expanded in 2025, aggregate circulating supply for USDT and USDC from issuer attestations and on-chain contract explorers, comparing month-over-month changes to prior years for a data-driven view (sources: Tether Transparency, Circle Attestations, Etherscan). Assess trading impact by monitoring stablecoin share of total crypto market cap, fiat on/off-ramp spreads, order book depth, and spot/perpetual volumes across major venues before adjusting basis, funding, and liquidity-provision strategies (sources: Binance Market Data, Coinbase Advanced Trade Data, CME Group). Recheck regulatory risk by reviewing U.S. Treasury and FinCEN guidance on stablecoins and any supervisory statements affecting bank custody and payment rails, as these can alter USDT/USDC settlement speed and market liquidity (sources: U.S. Treasury, FinCEN, Federal Reserve).

According to @trondao, stablecoins on TRON are actively used at scale, signaling transactional demand rather than passive holding, which is a direct catalyst watch for TRX liquidity and activity risk premia, source: TRON DAO on X, Dec 30, 2025.

According to @Nick_van_Eck, global stablecoin liquidity will concentrate into roughly 5–10 open-loop payment stablecoins such as AUSD, USDC, and USDT due to network effects spanning user demand, venue acceptance, and deep markets across spot, perps, and futures, prioritizing credible neutrality, global liquidity, and broad utility for settlement and trading use cases, source: @Nick_van_Eck on X, Dec 29, 2025. He states open-loop coins are defined by credible neutrality, global liquidity, and global utility, while noting USDC as an exception on neutrality because Coinbase/Circle compete with some customers via Base, Arc, custody, trading venues, and prediction markets, source: @Nick_van_Eck on X, Dec 29, 2025. He adds that thousands of whitelabel stablecoins will exist for closed-loop purposes like loyalty and in-game tokens, or where brand, regulatory, or product constraints require it, and that most custom coins pursue specific objectives rather than competing as global open-loop money, source: @Nick_van_Eck on X, Dec 29, 2025.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance’s USD1 Earn offers 20% APR but is capped at $50,000 per user and trades at a premium, which may reduce net returns for users swapping in just to participate, based on the author’s review of the offer. According to @ai_9684xtpa citing the Binance campaign page, Binance Web3 Wallet users can stake USDT to receive sUSDD at a 13.52% APY, where 12% derives from USDD’s base yield and roughly 1.52% is the current extra subsidy. According to @ai_9684xtpa citing the Binance campaign page, the sUSDD promotion runs from Dec 11 to Jan 10, has a $100 minimum, no deposit cap, a total $300,000 prize pool distributed $10,000 daily, and has attracted $290 million in deposits so far, which means the extra subsidy portion of APY floats with participation. According to @ai_9684xtpa, USDD transitioned in January to a community-driven overcollateralized stablecoin. According to CoinMarketCap data cited by @ai_9684xtpa, USDD supply rose from $482 million to $816 million since the Dec 11 Binance Wallet campaign start, a 69% increase, with an estimated 35.5% of new tokens minted due to the Binance Earn-related activity.

According to the source, global stablecoin supply reached $314 billion in 2025, but market cap alone can obscure which assets and networks control actual trading liquidity and flows. On centralized exchanges, USDT leads by trading volume and number of quote pairs—especially on offshore venues—resulting in tighter spreads and deeper order books versus USDC, according to Kaiko’s 2024 market structure reports. On-chain activity is segmented: USDT transfers are concentrated on Tron by transaction count and volume, while USDC settlement skews toward Ethereum and select Layer-2s, according to Chainalysis 2024 data and Circle’s published network statistics. For trading signals, rising stablecoin balances on exchanges and a lower Stablecoin Supply Ratio have historically coincided with greater crypto buying power, according to Glassnode metrics.

According to the source, a list of the seven fastest-moving stablecoins in 2025 is drawing trader attention; before taking positions, confirm 30–90 day changes in circulating supply via issuer transparency pages and independent attestations to validate momentum signals (sources: Tether Transparency; Circle USDC monthly reserve reports; First Digital FDUSD attestations; PayPal PYUSD transparency; Paxos attestations). Evaluate on-exchange depth, spreads, and share of aggregated crypto volumes to gauge potential liquidity spillovers into BTC and ETH during rotations (sources: Binance public market depth and volumes; Coinbase market data; Kaiko liquidity metrics). Monitor depeg risk using on-chain price oracles and documented stress-event histories to set stop-loss and sizing rules (sources: Chainlink price feeds; Circle USDC status updates from past de-peg events).
