<![CDATA[USDC Quietly Overtakes USDT Where It Matters Most]]>8376e31e-a129-4cbc-95d4-7673d5d0d924-image.png
For the first time ever, Circle’s stablecoin USDC has surpassed USDT in annual transaction volume. In 2025, USDC processed $18.3 trillion in on-chain transfers, compared to USDT’s $13.2 trillion, according to data from Artemis Analytics. That’s a 39% lead — a major shift in how value actually moves across crypto rails.

What makes this especially notable is that USDT still dominates by market cap, with roughly $187 billion outstanding versus USDC’s $75 billion. But transaction volume tells a different story: while USDT is widely held, USDC is increasingly used. The data filters out exchange shuffling and MEV bots, meaning real payments, DeFi activity, and peer-to-peer transfers are driving USDC’s lead.
