According to @CoinMarketCap, stablecoins are among the few crypto businesses with proven product–market fit, underscoring their trading utility in 2025 (source: @CoinMarketCap, Dec 10, 2025). According to @CoinMarketCap, while USDT and USDC remain market leaders, a new cohort of stablecoins surged in 2025, catalyzed by Circle's IPO and the GENIUS Act, which reframed competitive dynamics and flows (source: @CoinMarketCap, Dec 10, 2025). According to @CoinMarketCap, the market has bifurcated into two rails: crypto-native yield products such as Ethena USDe, Falcon Finance USDf, and Sky USDS offering returns above T-Bill rates via CeDeFi and DeFi strategies, versus institutional stablecoins like PayPal PYUSD, World Liberty Financial USD1, and Ripple RLUSD emphasizing full compliance (source: @CoinMarketCap, Dec 10, 2025). According to @CoinMarketCap, the 2025 race centers on yields versus compliance, defining how traders assess risk, return, and adoption across these stablecoin segments (source: @CoinMarketCap, Dec 10, 2025).
