According to TechFlow, on May 6, Kaiko Research analyzed that the trading volume of $USDC (USD Coin) exceeded 219 billion USD in March, more than doubling compared to January. This growth was mainly driven by a significant partnership with Binance. Meanwhile, the trading volume of $USDT (Tether) on centralized exchanges saw a notable decline, nearly halving between November 2024 and April 2025.
The analysis indicates that the decline in $USDT trading volume reflects a reduced overall risk appetite in the cryptocurrency market, decreased participation from retail investors, and weakened speculative demand. Emerging stablecoins such as USDG launched by Paxos and yield-bearing stablecoins are gradually gaining attention in the market, signaling a changing competitive landscape in the stablecoin sector.
